Hello Steve,

I bet you are right. The reason I ran it with the 2.5V side to the grid was
because I first tested the transformer out by driving a 8 ohm speaker, that
worked very well using the 2.5V side to the speaker, and not so well with
the 115V side to the speaker, but then I am not trying to drive a 8 ohm
speaker, am I? Hmm. Once I get the replacement Power amp IC I burned out, I
will have to try it out as you suggest. Still have to figure a way to
reduce HV RF from sneaking back into the amp...

Thanks,

David Trimmell
