RE: Chrome Cutie Preamps have .1 uf final cap; not .01...Hum is easily controlled...

That the schematic provided is favorably wrong is good news. The factor of 10 is important.

IMO, aside from using 7025 equivalents, to control hum, biasing the filament winding's CT off B+, instead of a direct connection to ground, is indicated.

Speaking of B+, replacing the wretched 1/2 wave rectifier with a low noise full wave bridge seems obvious to me. Other than the routine replacement of dried out electrolytic caps., the CRC PSU filter seems quite adequate.

FWIW, I still would not connect the Lafayette preamp to a SS line stage, without adding buffering between the 2 units.
