In rare situations sometimes hum can be cured by swapping over live and neutral at the recorder. Live and neutral connect to the primary winding of the mains transformer (via on/off switch and sometimes mains fuse) so generally it is not technically important which way round live and neutral are connected, although I prefer to have live directly going through the on/off switch.

I did actually try that late last night as I thought it could be the case, I just swapped them in the plug temporarily, but alas no effect... thanks 🙏
