Agreed. No hum in the Elise. In fact, no tube I've tried in the Elise hummed.
A 7N7 needs a lot of breakin. An unusually long time for a driver. FWIW, none of my loctals hum in the DV - even NOS - but I may also be using a different adapter.
Edit: I mention the adapter, because IME some cause a hum and some don't. Most do not, but I recently received one that does. I'm positive it's not the tube. Too, and this doesn't necessarily apply to loctals. Some tubes hate adapters. In my WA6, a set of RCA hums so loud that one can't hear the music, until I remove the socket savers that do not have that effect on any other bottle I've used.
Those look nice UntilThen! Hum might indeed reduce after a bit of burn-in. Even if not, try them in the Elise when you get her, the hum might be reduced or even gone. Good luck!
