Cary rocket 88 vs dynaco st70


I currently have a completely rebuilt and upgraded dynaco st70 that sounds very nice in my system.

Classe dr6 pre
Quad 11L monitors
Denon dvd/sacd

I am having some low level hum from my dynaco, and am considering a used Cary rocket 88.
If you have a rocket 88,how quiet are they,and would this be an overall sound quality upgrade over the dynaco?
Speakers are 6ohm, 86db and have plenty of volume with the dynaco.

I had a pair of 96db klipsch kg4 in the system and the hum was unbearable.

There are no groundloop issues since my bryston 3b at has no hum in the system.

Rodman: Dunno what they are. You'll have to call Cary and ask. This was a while back, too, so I'm probably a bit loose in the jargon. Anyway, it was a capacitor that made the same hum that Dav65mus is experiencing. When fixed, things were dead quiet.
Rodman: Read though my old receipts last night trying to figure out what it was that Cary replaced. Here it is: 2-1200wf 450v VCC and 1-270K 2 WATT Mouser. If that's any help.
