Just got half way through my latest build and noticed I have put the output transformer back to front meaning the primary is facing the output tubes. Will this make any difference to noise i.e. hum etc?
I've made a really neat job and don't want to mess with it if I don't have to.

I don't believe that it will cause you any issues because the OT is still at a 90 degree angle to the PT.

Thanks Danman, just wondered why it's always with the secondary pointing towards the output tubes, maybe the cable run is shorter for the output?

Well just finished the amp and it sounds great, no hum or noise issues.
I did change the V1 coupling cap to a .0022 instead of the .022 because it sounded a bit dull.
It has a lar/mar ppimv on as well, great amps!
