89ziga,

I have owned many McIntosh amplifiers and integrated amps. I have never heard any hum from any of them ever. 

It it sounds like maybe you should send it off to Mac for a service. Their service deptarment is first rate and they will call you with a quote before repairing anything. 

I hope this helps.

89ziga,

I don't remember McIntosh service being especially expensive.. What was critical to me was that when they service your amp they will service the entire amp not just the problem. In other words if will be brought entirely up to factory spec.  Any and all issues will be addressed and they warranty their work.

Send it off to them, they will quote you before the do any work. It's well worth it.
