Difficult to say without more diagnosis. First I would disconnect the preamp cables from the power amps.

I believe in one of Steve's earlier posts he did disconnect the ics from the preamp and the two amps. No hum with the ics disconnected.

I would be curious what the effect, result, would be if Steve left the ics connected to the preamp but unplug the preamp from the 120V power outlet. Also disconnect all input ics from the preamp.
This test would still have the two power amps signal ground tied together at the preamp jacks. Would there still be a hum?
Your thoughts, or Al's, or any one else's.......
