Of course, cos the hum is not from the input jack or internal wire, its from the filament supply.
Most modern power amps or integrated amps with reasonably high gain have DC filaments (read: no hum)
Regardless of AC or DC filament, the textbook treatment if you have a totem pole (SRPP or stacked triodes the call) configured first stage the filament MUST be raised to preserve tube life.
Those who throw NOS tubes at these Chinese amps you are flushing money down the toilet.
properly modded this amp is wonderful. tranny is overbuilt, lots of space to put in oversized components.
However, most modders simply put in new caps and new diodes and completely ignore this serious flaw of filament supply.
