You should not be able to hear any hum except maybe a small amount if the ear is held right to the speaker...if you can hear it humming at a usual distance then it's too much...there may be heater to cathode leakage in the audio output tube introducing hum from the AC filament circuit in the audio circuit. Would recommend trying a known good output tube.
