Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: BB Proof 2A3 DC

I think I am pretty much set on a layout, I need to make a decision on capacitor type since they vary so much in physical shape. I would like something similar to a axial leaded Sprague atom electrolytic.

That and I should decide to put the trim pots behind or beside the tube sockets, also I assume I should keep them internal to prevent accidental tampering. I remember these nice trim pots that were on an old Scott amplifier my Dad had, they were basically flush mounted and had to be turned with a flat head screwdriver. It would be nice to find some.

I did have a quick question:
How critical is it to have the 2.5VAC filiment lines isolated from other sources of AC?
I have a spot where I could either cross the high voltage secondaries (At roughly 90 degrees) of the power transformer, or I can route them in the vicinity of the lower voltage AC heater lines.
