Triode Kingdom, I certainly agree with you view on that, however, even the most carefully designed amps will age just like everything else in the world. Sad but true.
The most skillfully designed amp could start to hum if its caps start getting leaky due to old age. That of course doesn't mean the amp was poorly designed, it just means that it needs fresh caps.
Maybe not a good comparison but even the absolute best roadster will need new tires after a number of miles. The best guitars will need new strings. et.al.
Again, I agree with your premise. I would be puzzled though why someone with the funds to purchase such an amp would be satisfied listening to a hum? I certainly can't afford a top-of-the-line amp and even I don't like hum! LOL
just my 2 cents worth
