Thank you Paul. I work in a hobby industry and have to assist novices and know it can take a lot of energy out of you. You have been a great help and I really appreciate your time.
I double checked my wiring before I blew the parts trying to check voltage but I will double check it again.
I gues now I will just order more parts from Mouser and replace the others on the board.
The great news is the other paramount sounds stellar! I do not know if it is the soft start upgrade, the new 2A3s I bought, or what but the background is so silent now it is almost impossible to tell the amp is on even with my ear to the speaker. I am amazed.
Thanks again,
Robby Rose
