If you plug the new pre-amp into your power amp with no source devices attached (while connected to the PSM156) - any noise from just the pre-amp and power amp?
If so, try a different set of interconnects? Are you using RCA or XLR cables to connect the Pre to the Power? Does the Pre-amp have a three prong power cord or two prong? If all is silent, then add one device at a time and see if one device triggers the hum. I have never seen a Puritan cause noise.
