hi
just my practical experience with my last tube driver
but no exact explication
www.loginnovation.com/jeapel
with 6sn7 double triode half for right and half for left
1-without ground on heater big hum on speaker
2-with one ground zero hum on right and hum on left
3-with 2 100 ohm 1w very low hum on both channel
4-for my very low gain 6as7 no need of ground
100ohm 1 w is typical value my 6sn7 are low noise
electro harmonic but a cheap hummy tube maybe
50 ohm or 25 ohm with good watt

Hi,
With indirectly heated tubes and quite likely a center tapped heater xformer too....
Cheers,
maybe but old radio use methode 2 with ac

Nice amp! Got any pics? How many watts does it produce?
Back on topic, I have found most indirectly heated tubes have quite minimal hum.
Raising the heater supply above ground by a few volts, keeping in mind heater to cathode ratings, can also reduce hum. This is often necessary in SRPP-type designs.
