Thanks for the math
Whats weird is that the noise when screwed down to the PCB is not a 50 Hz hum, but mostly higher frequency rattle, while holding the transformer in the hand its practically silent ...
I am guessing the potting compound is too stiff and or the transformer makes direct contact with the bottom of the enclosure

Will the bobbins make the difference? I should know tomorrow

I have finished mounting all 4 transformers.
The noise has gone down a lot, now I only hear the transformers within 20 cm distance.
Max load doesn't make a noticable difference.

I am sure once the boards are put into my "Naim Shoeboxes" I will not hear them any more.

Note: as I am not sure how bad the Block transformers from other builders are, I cannot fully guarantee this solution (Ohne gewähr ;-) )

For me it works well, and the solution still looks pretty nice.

My transformers are not replaced by newer ones

Another picture. I used stranded wire below the transformers for the connections with 2 turns of wire around the tranformer connections to ensure a solid solder connection. All wires are a bit longer than necessary (about 5 cm)

Cannot show them any more ...
For those who want to try this at home ;-) I can recommend using a 3 mm tap to create proper thread in the transformers before screwing the bobbins in

Everyone who has is listed until then gets further information from me via PM.
