You`re dead right it`s irratating trying to find it, you pay your money you want silence, you cant get it, only option is to return it, what can I say. First thing I thought when I took a breather playing with the earths, was no way would Decware sell noisy amps, it`s not going to happen. I tried most things, swopped out the e/stats for my more efficient higher ohmed Focals. Anyway to cut a long story short, I realised that the ZP3 is a big lump of gear, 5 valves and sounds so open and bass powerful that I realised there were no filters on the output. The hum, is going through the amps and so coming from the phono, so in my way of thinking, the pre amp couldn`t handle it. What to do. Now the hum is so quiet that you couldn`t hum to yourself more quietly at the levels I use that I would have been more than happy with it as it was. I can turn it up when it`s playing etc. And I`ve got the c/heating boiler in a cupboard that sometimes you can hear very quietly when the music stops. So... I was so pleased with it that I ordered the pre and power, which will be more at home wih the ZP3. Different route to you, I should think everyone here feels a little.
