Have noticed that the right channel 300B tends to "drift" back to having some filament hum after a couple of hours even though I had it set with no hum at all originally. In each case the amp had been warmed up before I set it and again when it was drifting off. Is it more likely the tube that is doing this? I hope not. Guess I will have to switch positions of the 300B's to see. Anyone run into this before? |

About an hour in my case. No idea if this is your issue. |

Sounds like good advice. Now to see if if goes awhile without doing it again. |
