WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be
performed by someone who is thoroughly familiar with
the safety precautions around high voltages.
I trimmed off some off topic personal stuff despite my earlier prompting to chill and stick to the technical topic. Since I've participated on this thread, I won't take any further actions. But I am closing it.
