Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Vitamin Q directionality !

You should connect the outer case leaded connection to the grid connection, not the plate connection. That would be the lowest positive voltage, closest to ground, thus the safest way, and the way the manufacturer intended.
For PIO caps that are not connected to the case, they are presumed non-polarized. However, a number of us techies always connect these in the direction of the labelling, with the labelling heading toward the next stage, the grid connection.
All NOS caps have significant break-in hours needed, before you sonically critique them. Happy Listening on your hifi search...
