Back on line at last!

Matthew really slapped us in the back of the head. We were without power for two days (some folks STILL are) and we just got internet service back this morning.
I have gone through all the suggestions regarding the hum issues, and have got rid of most of it in both the preamp and amp by changing the 26 tubes in both one at a time until the hum went away. For some reason the globe 26's seem to be more likely to cause hum than the st style.
There is still a tiny bit of buzz left, but I am not going to worry about that until I get rid of the rats nest that is the bread board wiring. Would not be surprised if that gets rid of it.
Sooooo, the next step is to bread board the other channel and make sure I still think it is the bee's knees. I may also invest in a couple of GM-70's to give them a try before committing to a build with the 845's.
Thanks for all help folks, I really do appreciate it.
