Again, on noise reduction

Hi all

I'm working on the mix for a DVD of a live gig with a string quartet. I have some troubles with a static noise (bzzzzzzz) generated by the power supply of a spotlight (which is turned on and off when the players get on the stage). It's kind of high pitched and it seems a bit modulated. It's only heard during to softest passages, like in intros or coda (when only one of the musicians is playng, very soft) but since there's some speaking in between music to introduce the songs, I'd need to get rid of it. I really want to be as transparent to the music (all acoustic quasi classical) as I can be.
So far I tried with the standrd stuff, Digi DINR, Waves X-Noise and X-Hum, notch filters, but I feel that, even though I can get rid of much of the noise, I'm changing the sound a bit too much, particulary the "air" surrounding the musicians, which to me is key.

Any other suggestions or tricks I may try?

Thanx

L.G.
