There is a little transformer hum at warm-up, but it doesn't last more than 5-10 seconds, then the amp is quiet. And it is a powerful bugger! Lots of headroom, and bass. Not to mention the classic PP tube sound. I've been running it with my Forte II's. This amp really made them sing!
Google JWN Amps and Jim Nichols for more info. He has a pretty good reputation for making a quality product. You don't see his stuff come up for sale too often. Check out the links below for some reviews of his amps:
