RE: Custom 6sn7 preamp runs too hot

The power supply voltages do not make sense - total supply is 34mA, of which 23mA goes to each line amp, and the cathode followers draw 16mA - a total of 62mA.

The really big issue is the first Zeners, which are supplied through the 470//680 ohm resistors. With only 20v drop, they are extremely sensitive to the power line voltage.
