I've only checked over unpowered so far, this amp, as its a kit thing. One horror and 2 inappropriates found so far. Was working well apparently but the hum that was always there, but acceptable level, has now increased. Is it acceptable to have a large toroidal mains transformer sandwiched immediately (1 mm clearance) between 2 similar size large toroidal output matching transformers, no mu-metal anywhere ? Stage amps I'm more familiar with always seem to have the mains one at one end and the output one at the other end.
