The way something sounds will depend on how it is employed in a circuit, so, it's hard to say what a tube or solid state device will sound like without context.
There should be no noise, especially no buzz or hum. If there is, send it back.
As Jeff states, it depends on the circuit design. Some tube amps and some SS amps sound great - others of each type are dreadful.
Tubes are pretty however and a delight to play with.
I hope you enjoy your amp a great deal. Let us know.
I should have the amp and AKG 701's next week. I'll let you know what I think.
