How do I get rid of audio hum?

What does the Sprout sound like?
The Sprout produces a much bigger sound than both its name and its dimensions suggest. If you closed your eyes, you’d probably think you were listening to a considerably larger amp, so full-bodied is the presentation. I thought it would be fun to try out the Sprout across the extremes of loudspeakers, from basic no-fi to über -high end.
