I think I may have figured out what the issue is -- when I turn the 'Tone In' = 'ON' I hear the hum, on different surround modes (though not all), at most volume levels (HK Receiver basically goes from -80 to +10) so the louder it goes, the worse the hum.

For $HIT$ and giggles, I turned the 'Tone Out' = 'ON' which got rid of the hum, except at really insane levels (i.e. -10 to +10) on the receiver. I also tried different surround modes, here...and had the same effect. No hum. I also tried different surround modes, and did not expperience the hum, below a certain volume, with the Tone Out = ON.

So, I am thinking that it was the 'Tone In' settings, where I had the treble up and the bass low. Don't know why I would be hearing a hum, though? I will try taking the unit out of the protector, and plugging it directly into the wall...and try both tone in and out modes tomorrow (later this morning, when I wake up again)

I will also be contacting HK customer support, and/or Onecall's customer support. Let's see what they have to say. I also sent Brent (at Axiom) an email, and maybe he will shed some light on this issue, as well.

More to follow...when I am able to do some more testing. G'nite.

Now I know this will spark a discussion here....
But...a line conditioner or a good surge strip is sure to atleast help you trouble shoot the issue. There may be something running in that new house of yours that may be giving you the hummmmm.
