1. Does the hum actually get louder as you turn the volume control down?
2. Can you measure the voltage of the hum at the speaker?

Sometimes increasing the capacitance value of of a filter cap too much can cause 60hz current spikes that will propagate throughout the entire ground system of the set and cause hum problems. More is not necessarily better.
