Never heard an amp do this before, ideas?


I have a primaluna 100 unplugged from any inputs. It has this awful high pitched sound coming from the speakers when it's turned on. It happens on both channels, and through headphones.

I have turned off all electricity in the apartment, turned all breakers off except the one it's on, moved the amp around the apartment, tried a humx, and different power cables. I even replaced the unit with another primaluna and they both do it.

I'm running out of ideas, anyone ever seen this before?

Kind of off the subject. Is it not detrimental for tube amp not having a load (speaker connected) on the output while being turned on? From the video it looks like the speaker is connected to only one channel. I could be wrong, but I think it is a no-no.
