That sounds like a fabrication defect. I would ask to exchange it for another one if you really enjoy the sound.
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.

@larryi @femoore12 @facten @auroravengeance and everyone that has chimed in Yes, I think replacing it is the best idea. It has a great sound, I would keep it if the hum was minor but I feel like this is beyond that. |
The whole system was fine. Only thing changed was the amp which HUMS. Bad luck, Safest: RETURN IT, for refund, if it's a bad design the next one will hum. If they can convince you they can fix it, or a replacement will not hum, you have to decide, make them pay for return shipping if you can. good luck. |
