:)hi there,

you mentioned you used ceramic caps, try replacing those with mylars or polypropylene caps.

there are several sources of hum in an amplifier,
1. poor grounding connection
2. defective capacitors
3. inadequate power supply filter
4. poor ground line lay-out
5. ground line loop
6. external input hum

Quest. 1. on a stand alone, meaning no signal input, do you hear any hum from your amp?
Quest. 2. does your input ground share the same line with your power line ground?
