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.

Might be a problem with the upgrade/rebuild job? A friend with the big 104db Klipschorns swaps amps for variety,and no hum on his stock Stereo 70.
I have one in the closet and the only time it had a hum was when I had to replace the 7199's.It showed a short on the tube tester.I'm not familiar with the Cary Rocket.Maybe somebody will still see the post.A Cary owner most likely went through a Dynaco too.Maybe somebody on Audio Asylum might know.
