Very nice build ! Must be very enjoyable to listen to something as silent as it seems to be. I wish my 4S preamp was as silent as this !
Try moving the earth wire. On one build I put the earth on the RCAs to stop the hum. In another I moved the earth to the pot and not the RCAs. By the earth I mean the negative of the HT.
If you have the mains earth connected to the HT negative try removing it if not try connecting it. And do that in combination with the above two connections. Generally don’t have two earth connections by that I mean don’t connect to the RCAs and the pot. Or if you haven’t try both. All this varies from one built to the next and there never seems to be a set way.
Thanks for your advices. I’ll try this tomorrow when i’ll receive my new rectifier. I have no idea how, but I broke the envelope of the one I had... I find ground loops to be very tricky to solve. I’ve been struggling with this problem for several months, but I haven’t been able to bring the noise to an acceptable level. I have built the power supply at least 4 times according to the original design with very little success. The best results I’ve had were with a chinese filter board instead of the original psu. Most of the noise I get is 120hz. I’ll keep on trying !
Back to your thread. I’m getting off topic with my noise problems, but really appreciate your inputs ! Thanks !
