[QUOTE="El Sid, post: 818821, member: 18550"] Based on my limited experience of having built one valve amp and some reading and observation, i'd say that if you observe some of the basic principles applied in point-to-point wiring, you should be able to have longish wires (10-15 cm?). So twist the heater wires together, twist the input and ground wires together, etc, but at the same time be careful of making ground loops. Preamp valves with their smaller signals would be happier with shorter lengths. But I would wait for people who actually know what they're talking about (Ampdog, Mars etc) to express an opinion before doing anything. [/QUOTE]
