"OP, Good you sent it back. I would not accept any hum."

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.
