guys, just a newbie question: does one have to ground the internal shielding of a tube?

Certainly it's preferable. But if it's inducing ground noise, try grounding it through a 1Meg resistor shunted by a smallish cap, say 0.01 to 0.047uF. ••• More options Share C camotecue Member Joined 2004 2006-09-06 3:31 am #3 2006-09-06 3:31 am #3 geek, thank you. it's just now i connected to the internet. ••• More options Share J jarthel Member Joined 2002 2006-09-07 8:24 am #4 2006-09-07 8:24 am #4 Mr. Broskie suggest a .1uF cap to ground. but he also said that you can connect it directly to ground. ••• More options Share Geek Member Joined 2004 2006-09-07 10:07 am #5 2006-09-07 10:07 am #5 Yeah, the value isn't that critical.

Mr. Broskie suggest a .1uF cap to ground. but he also said that you can connect it directly to ground.
