Moving through my Ero2 build, and I wanted to double check how close to 6.3v I should be getting on the PS board.  I'm at 6.25v.  Certainly within 15%, but with this voltage being relatively small and very specific I wanted to check in about it before moving forward.  Seeing 380v on the 275v section btw so that's within range.  Many thanks!

Ideally, you would like to be within +/-5%, i.e. 6.0-6.6 volts. But most tubes are OK with +/- 10%.. In the case of Eros the voltage is controlled by a pair of 1% resistors in the regulator circuit.
