Loud Audible Hum/Noise from C/J Tube Amps


Hello,
Anyone has experienced audible noise using C/J amplifiers: I have the LP70s and MV60SE. Once the preamp is turned on, the noise is too loud that can be heard 20-30 ft away. I was able to cured the problems by using th $49 cents plugs from home depot to bypass the ground loop. Any other suggestions? Is this normal for CJ amps? i have the same problem on both units...
Thanks

Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I do own other tube amps such as audio research, rouge, audible illusions, Cayin without having this problem. Zaikesman, sorry for mis-informing you about no hum when the preamp is off. That is NOT true. The hum is definitely present and louder than normal when the preamp is not in operation or in mute mode during the soft start process and gets much louder (5X) when the preamp is ready for use.
