All I am talking about is the amplifier itself. With the triode kit and the upgraded power supply/driver board there should be inaudable hum, hiss, and noise.
Since you will need either a line stage or a preamp of some sort it will also enter into the picture. With the amplifier terminated to the speakers and the inputs to the amplifier shorted there is a chance of a very small amount of noise depending upon the skill of the person that put the amplifier together and the driver board used. In general one should figure a small amount of hum with ANY tube amplifier in my opinion.
