I haven't had reason to incorporate that in the Monarch (since the production ones don’t hum appreciably), but I do enjoy the sound and feel of some series resistance or inductance in the power supply path in other designs. The 5E7 PSU circuit for instance i...

Hey gang...just happened to check back today, we use 22uf on the OT supply, a 1k dropping resistor, 47uf on the screens, and then it goes off to the preamp filtering nodes with larger value resistors (usually 4.7k / 22uf to the PI and then 4.7k / 22uf to the preamp. I find this yields the benefits o...

I glanced over the rest of your layout for a few seconds a few days ago and didn't see any obvious errors, but I'm not going to take all the fun out of this ...

Hopefully it is helpful of me to point out at first glance of the shared schematics t...
