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.
1. try unplugging other equipment to see if the noise is from caused by something else.
2. try different tubes.
3. check if the screws on transformer(s) are loose.
4. tighten all cable connections.
5. try tube dampers (Herbies Audio Lab) as last resort.
best of luck!
