My tube amp power supply is buzzing away Help

I fixed the issue by buying a $5 hard rubber bunge and cutting into strips and placing it under the transformer. I then tightened the whole thing down.Now it is much more quiet. Cant hear it from where I sit.

Neat way to qiet down transformers.

The unit is plugged into a BPT 2. I am going to try this. Open up the unit and place the transformer on four cut strips of hard rubber. I will then tighen down the bolts using the rubber as both a washer and underpad.

I called Pete from Mcalister and he feels this will do the trick. This power supply is said to be very quiet. Seems mine had been dropped during shipping as the underside is bashed in about 1 inch under the transformer. All else looks fine, but the bottom metal plate in bent and I am pretty sure this fix will work.

I will write a full review of this amp soon. But I will say this now. It is easily the best buy I have ever run accross in high end audio. $995 new and I paid $600 used. One of the very best amps I have had the pleasure of owning. Does not take a backseat to any amp I have owned costing up to $9500. Pure and simple.

I will let you know if this fix works. Pete said there is no need to buy that expensive stuff that comes in sheets. Just use the rubber from a $5 black bunge cord. I like that!

Thanks Scompracer. My method is more crude and I my try yours. Funny thing is my bottom plate was also bent from shipping. I love the sound of this amp. Have you found tube rolling helps or changes the sound. The amp has very detailed highs and good sparkle and killer transparancy. Is that what you find?

Bass is very tight and fast. The mids are not as ripe as my past CJ MV60 amp and I did like that about the CJ. The PP150S beats the CJ in every other area of sound in my system. Great amp!

Scompracer, I did the mod the exact way you outlined and the results were fantastic. Wow! Most pleased. I am going to do the same thing for the transformer in my Powervar line conditioner as it also makes some noise.
