Re: ARC SP-12 noise

Call ARC, they will gladly sell you the owner's manual with schematics.
You are probably tube microphonics excited by the high sesitivity speakers.

Try relocating the preamp to a spot in the room where there is a bass null (play a bass solo record and walk around, with your head about the same height as the preamp). Sometimes moving the preamp to a higher or lower shelf will do.

Also, you may want to call Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio (AA sponsor) and ask him about tubes selected for ultra-low microphonics plus tube dampers.
Good luck
