tube noise please help


I have Supratek Cortese (tube preamp) running a pair of mono block Krell (FPB- 250). The noise from the preamp was terible ( even with the cheater plug for preamp and remove the bypass cap inside the amp ( as Krell recommented for tube)). thanks for any advices.

What types of tubes? If what your hearing is a steady hum, does your unit have a tube rectification circuit? I had a hum problem with one of my pre-amps that was simply a 6x4 rectifier tube reaching the end of it's natural lifespan. In short, we would need more information.
