Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal?


I have an Anthem A5 and when I turn it on there is a slight "hum" if you put your ear close to it. From 3 feet away it’s unnoticeable. It's in the amp, not in the speakers.
Is this normal?

I've always experienced power transformer hum and HF hiss until my current ARC and Hegel H30 amps.  Both dead quiet so I guess it's design dependent.
