How much hum is normal from a new tube amp


I just bought a great sounding Lab12 Suara KT120 tube amp. The issue I am having is a hum that is coming from the transformers. I can hear it with no music playing faintly from my listening position 12 ft. away. The question is, should I return it, or is this normal acceptable.

I have 3 tube integrated amps , a Line Magnetic 518IA, a Finale Audio 7189Mk2 as part of my main system, and an Ayon Audio Spirit 2 in my second system none of them have ever had any transformer hum

The amp costs $5K+. You appear to have a return window. why settle on living with something that will continually be, at a minimum , an annoyance.
