hey,
i think brian offers great support for a diy product. he personally responds to questions with regularity. there are very few places in this industry with this kind of personal and community support. plus, its a great product to begin with.
i can attempt to help you trouble shoot the buzz problem as i am very familiar with the older model ella. i haven't noticed this myself, but this is always a possibility when you have a diy built amp. you will need to first figure out where the noise is being introduced. i don't think a grid stopper resistor will fix this problem; and the power tubes already have them, iirc.
btw, tube amps are not always going to be dead silent. if you can only hear this with putting your ear up to the speaker, i don't see that as a big problem. but i don't know the specifics with your setup.
