This weekend my new V-cap capacitors will have received 200 hours of burn-in and be ready for installation as coupling caps.  According to V-cap:

"Lowest impedance path to ground," reads to me (from Audience) as the green lead for an interstage coupling cap should be attached to driver stage plate, or as a bypass for a positive power supply connected to the negative lead, or as a bypass for a negative power supply connected to the positive lead, or for an output/Parafeed cap connected to the output tube plate.

Green lead to terminal 9. That terminal goes back to the driver (B socket); terminal 7 goes (through the 220 ohm grid stopper) to the 300B grid at A3.
