Getting noise from a Carver PM-1.5 amp. Anyone know about a fix for this? Thanks.

Replace the power supply caps. Is the hum on both channels? If it is I would look at the supply caps, its common with these guys.

Could be the components... or the wiring.

OTOH it could be the moronic operator who, despite being a member for six years, hasn't got the wit to post a more detailed description of the fault than this.
