1. Filament snubber capacitors on driver tube. Very critical in the Paramour.
2. HV snubber
3. .01 uF ceramic cap signal ground (terminal 12) to chassis (13)
4. Filament snubber on 2A3
5. Balance pot trim mod.All my notes are on my Paramour page.
In the other amp, add a UF4007 inseries with the normal diode bridge.
Play safe and play longer! Don't be an "OUCH!" casualty.
Unplug it, discharge it and measure it (twice) before you touch it.

Thanks Volt Second, I will begin working on the above. For the push pull amp, I assume you mean the diode bridge for the filaments. Does it matter where I put the UF4007? before the filter, or in the ground leg of the bridge? Also I forgot to mention that the DC is on the voltage amp and the splitter/driver (6SN7) only, the power stage is AC heated. (My scrounged power transformer has two 6.3v windings) Thanks again.

The UF4006 goes between the rectifier bridge "+" and first capacitor.
