It looks happy as Larry and is no warmer anywhere than 'comfortably warm'.
Hum is very low - negligible - and the whole thing looks very solidly built
(16 kg) and really quite well finished off. The trannies look quite
substantial through the ventilation slits - no guarantee of quality I know,
but the sound quality (specifically the bass) has already reassured me that
they aren't totally ****e. The valves do look a bit 'Chinese' (no offence,
Tat...) but they seem to be spot on.

none taken ... but what does a Chinese vale look like?
As opposed to say, a Russian Svetlana valve?


Too soon to make remarks about 'sound
quality'

warm, full of character, detailed?
