I am curious about this one, too. From my work in Class-A solid state amps, transformers hum/buzz/vibrate as the load on them increases beyond their "happy point", thus I would have recommended looking at your PS caps and resistors to ground. It would have been interesting to experiment with resistor values in the range of 20k to 50k (difference between what you have and the spec sheet).

So, what was the trick?
