Hmmm...interasting...

There is actually very little of any hum! The EL84's are being fed straight from the rectified cathode, but...no hum.

The EL84's seem to run abit on the hot side, but appart form that i havnt noticed anythign bad. I guess EL84's arnt the coldest runnign valves ever.

They are too hot to touch for any significant time, but thats about it. I think thats pretyt normal anyway?
