RE: EML solid Plate 45 vs. EML mesh Plate 45 .........better for SET ?

Yes I enjoyed your take on the EML 2A3M V4. ..... As another member stated and as shown on the EML site. You still have to use a Cathode resistor and Bypass cap. Or maybe it would work better if you used filament Bias per andy Evans.

I have no problem with hum from my output tubes. I use short lengths of wire from each leg of my 2.5vct Filament tranny, to the 2A3 pins and use a short length of wire from the tranny center tap ,to the Cathode /Bypass cap to ground....( better yet short piece of solid Silver wire).

On this build I don't see an advantage for a V4 version.

No hum issues!
Have fun!
