Good work!
But now you will alwyas have a rats nest of pwr supplies on the carpet.
Me at least!

But yes, there is just no way to get the same results, you would need ten tons of mu.

Hey CJ,
Yes KUDOS to you!
It was actually you who gave me the idea of mounting the torrid on the rear of the case, much like alot of older tube gear, and let me say it more than HALVED the hum I was getting.
Even now at 50-60dB's of Gain I can BARELY hear it above the noise floor and for what I'm doing it is more than acceptable.
Distant from the circuit seems to be the ONLY SUREFIRE way of ridding the hum, I know that Joe Malone also advocates this.
I won't build another preamp with an in the box power trafo, it is not worth the headache and I would rather live with the rats nest than the incessant hum.
Cheers
Matt
