"Wall Wart" hum, unavoidable?


My problem is this: I have a Magnum Dynalab MD 102 tuner
with the analog remote control. The remote control "receiver" is connected to the tuner and is powered by a wall wart. After only an hour or two of operation, the wall wart produces an irritating hum which is loud enough to ruin
listening sessions at lower volumes. Can this problem be fixed? Have any others encountered this problem? Thanks.

I just got off the phone with Larry @ MD. The hum is coming
from the external wall wart, not from the receiver or through the speakers. Larry is sending me a new wall wart
which he said will solve the problem. However, he added that the new MD 102 has an internal receiver thereby reducing rack clutter. Unfortunately, it is not possible to
upgrade my unit. Thanks for response.
