About 'jumpering'

K&K Audio / Lundahl Transformers

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share youe ideas and experiences.

I'm going to go over my step-up to see if I can track down the loud hum it's producing. Yesterday I went over the instructions again and took a look under the hood to see what the possibilities were.
One thing I noticed is, I didn't use the teflon jacket on the jumpers on the board, due to space constraints - the lengths of wire seemed so short I thought I could do without them. So maybe this is the culprit.
This is really dumb, but I remembered I wasn't sure when I was doing the kit either, so I'm going to go ahead and ask. (I have my step up wired for the 14 db gain, btw.) When you have to jumper the wires on the pc board, I ran them so they shaped like an upside-down 'u,' sticking straight out, then straight across, then straight back in again. Is that the right idea? I'm going to slip a piece of teflon over the part that's parallel to the pc board, since the teflon would likely melt during soldering if I get it too close to the pc board pads.
Sorry for a silly question, but while I've done a fair amount of diy soldering, I haven't done much 'jumpering.'
Thanks Kevin.
