Line Magnetic owners...how quiet are they?

I have had numerous tube amps/integrateds over the years that made various levels of noise, ranging from dead quiet to significant buz/hum that can be heard several feet away in the listening chair. I'd like to know how Line Magnetic owners would rate their's. I'm talking about any hum/noise coming from the amp itself, and I'm particularly interested in the 518.

Very to my ears. What are you now using to drive your Nines?

Mrc- What phono stage are you using with the 20X2L. I am getting good results with a Heed Quasar, but am always looking for options (-:

Mrc- Sorry for the delayed response, lost track of this....
The Heed is a very nice unit. I'm partial to tubes, yet I have no regret with the Quasar. If there is a better unit for my tastes in the $1000 range, I would be pleasantly surprised. I think it will stay until I can afford a nice tubed preamp, which will be 3X the cost of the Heed.
