Drummerwill - I see you have read my post on the 2a3 Mesh V4 tubes regarding the center tap for filament supply. What are your thoughts on this and should it help combat the bit of hum that I currently have? My real desire regarding the V4 tubes is to get rid of the filament's cathode resistor and cathode bypass cap. Everytime I remove the bypass cap, the sound opens up nicely, but I get reduced output and hum. I am hoping the V4 cap will allow the tube to operate at normal output levels and minimize hum by getting rid of the cathode resistor / bypass cap and use the V4 pin to ground. Thought on this?
