- Can some-one give me a short explanation WHY a piece of METAL should improve the hum...I have 50hz mains power here in Australia and never seen this here in any of the amps i have looked at...I have

- Perhaps it stiffens the chassis, reducing the soundboard effect. Or increases the mass of that part of the chassis, causing a change in its resonant frequency. Since aluminium was specified, maybe th

- I don't figure why, but (here we also have 50 Hz line frequency) with many transformers we have hum, adding a thick (1.5 mm) carton between transformer and chassis completely solve the problem; in ex

- Probably any material that spaces the magnetic field of the transformer away from coupling into the steel chassis would work, aluminum being non ferrous should work as well as a carton, and stronger
