Hi Wayne and Bill! Found my way over here! Have you had a chance to try the Foreplay with the Paramours yet Wayne? I'm interested to hear how it works for you. I have the same constant, non volume pot dependent hum with my Ella as I had with the Foreplay, starting to think it could be something in the house wiring or around the house. Never had noise with the Foreplay at the old house.... Jerrod
