RE: photo 3

I think you may have some layout issues. The crowding around the 6SL7 is just begging for trouble. A straight line layout with smallest signals at one end and largest signals at the other would be much more likely to be stable. I'm also wondering if you need that much gain - can you change a few values and replace the 6SL7 with a 6SN7? Regarding the discussion about grid stoppers, the higher values being suggested shouldn't be necessary. I've built dozens of 6SL7 stages for prototyping various designs, and the only one that ever oscillated had its grid pin within an inch of a third stage anode. Except for that one layout error on my part, 1K carbon comp grid stoppers have always been sufficient.
