Anthony, I grounded in my
amp it in order the shield was not hanging there free. You certainly must NOT
leave it disconnected and you do need to tie to something. Generally biasing of
these electrostatic fields shields is very murky territory. There is a community
of people out there who insist that it makes difference and I have seen even some
gizmos that introduce bias to external shields. The shields in 6E6P is much closer to anything, so a positive
or negative bias might be effective. I did not experiment with it and I have no way to predict how it might impact sound.
Do not take it too far as I can see you running an active feedback loop over
the 6E6P shield… :-)
Let me know if you
do experiment with it and what you find. I would be looking for noise and sound
impact. Do not forget to burn a used tube at least 1Hr before you make any judgments.
It might be hard for you as you do not have 6E6P in a full bandwidth channel
and to make any concussion within a narrow bandwidth channel you need the whole
system to be setup, calibrated and it sound to matured in your own perception.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
