I'm going a bit beyond my expertise here, so take all of this with a grain of salt. Hopefully somebody more knowlegeable than I will budge in here.
Does this sub-panel have four wires coming into it or three? In other words, one ground, one white and... one black? Or is there a black and a red (or two blacks)? If there's two live wires, likely #9 and #10 breakers are off of separate legs (one black, one red for example) which I think could cause your hum. Usually breaker boxes have one or two from one leg (wire) then alternate back to the other again, and on and on. Also, are they all grounded together; are the #9 and #10 outlets in the same box where you plug in your components?
When I wired my room the one thing I found out was to keep all breakers and thus outlets for the equipment off the same leg (NOT necessarily or even likely the same SIDE of the box, but the same WIRE coming into the box).
I have three breakers dedicated for my system. All of them are from the same wire coming into my breaker panel. So my breakers are something like #25 and #26, skip the two from the other leg, and #29.
