Just a couple of questions as I near end of my dual channel REDD build.
1) Jensen mic input schem suggests earthing the mic input to chassis as close as possible to the input.
I am using Neutrik combo xlr/jacks which are isolated - so had planned to make a star earth somewhere close to TX and the main filter cap and run everything back to that.
Also I will have safety earth point next to IEC inlet.
Whats a recommended approach ?
I don't see a clean way of earthing the mic input on the front panel without another screw hole which I want to avoid.
2) My Sowter input TXs have flying leads that I planned to twist , which will go the the phase/z/pad switching.
How do I screen the input wiring - or will twisted pairs be OK ?
Also whats the usual approach for dealing with the unused leads on an input TX ( CT , 34.5% tap ) as I noticed how I vcoil them up or move them affects the noise floor ( when I hagd the amp testing on the breadboard ) ?
