I've had that since i got the amp last year. A hum with a little bit of crackle and it's only noticeable when your head is next to the speaker. Still don't know what it could be.

Try a regular RCA cable. I’ve seen weird things like:
Blue Jeans RCA plus no ground= hum
Blue Jeans RCA plus groud= no hum
Normal. But look at this:
Pangea Phono with integrated ground- hum
Pangea Phono with integrated ground not connected- quiet. Blue Jeans plus ground is quieter.
Try switching your two center 12AU7s left to right.
Hum is still there.
Right channel
With no connect to preamp = low hum only when ear in speaker
RCA connected to preamp = hum is audiable further away
XLR connected to preamp = hum louder again - almost similar to how balanced is 6db louder as a method.

I’ve switched it with the two driver tubes on its side and no change…
Switched them over and remains on the right channel. It still gets louder when connected to the preamp
Edit: It only switches channel when I switch the speaker cables.

That's frustrating, but you will figure it out.I submit defeat, for now…
My poor living room is a mess of strewn cables
It’s feeling like it might be an amp issue depressingly. I’ll give it another shot tomorrow and if I can’t work it out I’ll have to get in touch with the dealer/PL

This series of posts gives me flashbacks to my days at Harman. Fun job to get to do some of those events!
It sounds like an amp issue. Your shop should be able to connect it to one of their systems and verify. You’ve got stronger warranty/consumer protection laws there as opposed to the States, so they’ll get you sorted out.

Sounds like an issue with the amp. Working amps should just work and with typical home speakers should be silent. NO hum, no hiss, nothing... agree with @HiFi Guy it's time to let the dealer take over from here.I submit defeat, for now…

Hope it gets sorted, Joe. Nothing more dispiriting than having a new toy play up on you.
Fingers crossed, he was a really sound fella when I was up there yesterday, was showing me around all the super fancy turntables, and I’d be happy enough to use him again in the future if this works itself out!

Hopefully it's a simple fix/correction.

.........was not expecting the "heft" this thing has, that being said, it sure is a looker in my opinion. Sleek, clean and simple
