do you have shunt resistor from outer end of capacitor to gnd?
I see them connected directly to cable , so , they're not using shunt resistors on board
if you're doing something as that , simply solder shunt resistors directly at output RCA, from hot to GND lug

The input off Aleph 1.7 causes the DC problem. So I should got rid off thoose 9.1 v Zeners at the input off 1.7 I think.

The 3 Vdc is from the input at Aleph 1.7. The Nutube was not my culprit. I shorted a capacitor at input off the Aleph. Thought the 10 uf at output off Nutube was ok. Tomorrow I will ad C 1 And C 5 at Aleph 1.7. Thoose where shorted.
Do you think the buffer was oscilating because the capacitiv load off the fat screened cable? It is what I think. I will use thin twisted unscreened. But now bedtime - clock is 02 in Copenhagen. Maybe this fixed my hum problem too.
No. If you used the 100 ohm output resistor, then you would not have
an issue. No resistor, any cable could do it.
Both this and the output resistor to ground are there for a reason.

Problem was missing input capacitor in the Aleph 1.7. I thought it was not needed because off the output capacitors in the Korg. So Aleph had 3 Vdc at input. But I still have problem with Aleph - lot off AC at output.
221R is fine in output, the most recent schematic was changed to 100R to make more duplication of parts with no change in performance.
The resistors is 100 ohm. Korg Nutube work perfect. I have the potentiometer for harmonic regulation at front. My next issue is the Aleph. God do not like me. He is causing problems for me as much as possible.Telling me to do something else then hifi.
is something wrong with fishing ?

Haha I was very good in Norway as a boy. One day I caught 50 trout's with hands only. But Denmark is a lousy place for that.
then you're simply too young
take Brianco as example - he's old enough , catching Salmons using only Power of Will

Its Salmon season here in Oregon, 2 so far in the freezer, have been too busy for much fishing.
I've got the most recent store board and nutube, working on the order of the rest of the parts (figured I am too slow for the pioneer completion kit, as I will wait for 6L6's guide before assembly). Will make my chassis, as I can't resist opportunities to design my own.
Other than (4) 100R, possibly PP caps in the signal path, and power supply choice (Triad WW vs Meanwell RS-75-24, are there any other updates/mods I ought to consider?

Choice of attenuators?
Zen Mod you think I am a lousy Diy man. Well I only come here when problems. You do not see all the things going well. Next thing I have to learn is how to use a scoop and the signal generator. A guy I know promised me to learn me.
Choice of attenuators?
Yes, I am thinking of starting with an Ebay "Valab 23 Step Attenuator" - I will have the option of digital volume, from a Khadas Tone Board/EdgeV SBC source, so reserving my obsessiveness for something else (such as the caps, considering 0.22uf, 1.0uf Jantzen Z-Superior caps for the first two, and 3.9uf Z-standard for the last, as I have a pair left over from some crossovers.
re: Erlend, curious how that works for you, as I need to do both (buy & learn), perhaps you could let us know via a new thread.

Zen Mod you think I am a lousy Diy man.....
Nope , didn't tell that nor I had similar thoughts .....
first - even doing electronics as work for almost 30 years , I still make mistakes
second , I have no skills in so many areas , whom many people excels , so can I judge someone by skill in electronics ?
lousiness is not measured by skill , it is measured by approach - if you asked a question , answers are given , you work to solve a problem and invest efforts - you're a proper DIYer
that's the state of mind , not number of finished projects
btw. I was never good at fishing
