If I plug one of the components (e.g. the CD player) directly into the power amp & the buzz goes away, it would seem like the problem is in the preamp. Does that make sense?

Not necessarily..Lets try this..Lets determine whether your preamp is in fact the problem...Plug the preamp back into the amp and turn it on along with the amp..Put the unit on aux and plug in a pair of shielded cables or a single cable and turn the volume down before you do this..Short the end of the cable like this that would plug into your dvd or cd player and turn up the volume and see if the hum disappears..If it doesn't,you have preamp issues most likely a filter cap in the power supply..Is it humming in both channels?
