I suppose that tells you something and is useful info to have...but what that tells you is not 100% clear, depending on other variables.
I forgot to say in my last post - I think very few of us landed a V series amp that was 'good to go' from the first moment. I love mine -- it's the ultimate tube amp, for me--but it took weeks and many sessions of chassis out/chassis in over a period of time before the amp was genuinely stable. The work is well worth it.
I 'unfortunately' have not had hum issues to the degree you two have, so I don't have that kind of experience with them. Steve/Hangman should chime in, in due time, and he is a wealth of info, and probably has run into this before, and have some more useful tips about what to look for I'd bet.
