Seems to be the outlet. The amount of noise differs depending on which outlet the Lyr 3 is plugged into.
I'm going to give the Emotiva CMX-2 a try, hopefully it'll fix the issue for both my crack speedball and the lyr 3.
Your comment on moving to a different apartment is key. Check the wall outlet first to see if it's wired correctly. Hot to hot, neutral to neutral, earth (safety) ground actually connected, wiring tight. If you're not comfortable messing with it, don't. You can get a cheap tester to see if it's wired correctly. If it's not, you can put a whole lot of effort into band-aiding the problem but still won't ever solve it. And if it is in fact wired incorrectly, I'd ask your apartment management to send someone in and fix it as it's technically a life safety hazard.

The general rule of electrical wiring is that if it looks iffy, it is iffier than it seems : bad grounding, switched live and neutral, current leakages, ... If the electrician could not comply with code, no way I'd trust them with anything. When I moved to my current home and we were redoing the AV setup, we found a lot of off-code wiring in the previous AV setup which I had ripped out thoroughly, even though it cost more than piggyback on some of it.I'm not sure if it matters but in my current apartment, they wired half of the house's outlets all under one switch in the electrical box. This was strange to me since in my previous apartment, every room was individually wired under a different switch from each other. I wonder if having several outlets all wired under one switch might have anything to do with it.

Yes, buy a $7500 regenerator for your $499 amp!
Hey, that's cheaper than build a brand new apartment. And the risk is still there if you wire the electric wrong. Then you have to rewire the whole apartment/building.When it comes to power, I say: go big, or go home!!
If only this one were glass (with metal feet)... Size is perfect but I doubt it would be steady enough!
