I'm planning an 18w lite build. I'll be using a chassis that already has PT and OPT , a few tube sockets, and appropriate place for a cap can. So my layout has been influenced by this.
I'd sure appreciate some extra eyes on the layout. I'm mostly concerned about avoiding noise issues from lead dress / component placement such as hum and parasitic oscillation but if there are other issues such as missing components or wiring mistakes do let me know.
I wanted to do all grounds in two places only: near PT and near preamp. But I couldn't really avoid having a third ground between the two el84 power tubes. Alternatively I could route that ground with a longish wire to the preamp ground. Thoughts on what the better option might be with regard to lowest noise?
Thank you in advance!
The Schematic attached is close to what I did. A few component values in my build are different.
