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?

have experience with this one.  DC is in your line.  It not only can cause hum from the transformer, it can damage it (AND WARRANTY will not cover it) if you use it like this over time.  Bought a DC filter from EMOTIVA,  around $100 as I recall.  works like a champ!!!
SILENCE.   My humble opinion.  a great product for the money
