Got the 5687 heater fired up last night. Man, that sure is a pretty sight. I'm using the RCRC filter (2 ohm and 1 ohm in lieu of 5 and 3, respectively - see link below) I measured the voltage and got 13.4VDC. This is supposed to run at 12.6 VDC. Do I need to pad the voltage back, or is this really that critical? I am within 10%. I know this will somewhat shorten tube life due to more heat being generated, but other than that are there any issues I can expect (ie., noise / hum.)

Guinevere should be singing tonight!!!!!!!Colin
