I was really originally just trying to figure out what Robin meant by “having the OT and PT be rotated 90 degrees”, since you could do that on different axes.

I wound up mounting the OT on L brackets, which was the other silent position through headphones and much easier to do. The brackets only required me to drill one hole in the…[Read more]

Yeah, I was not expecting that to be the sweet spot, that’s for sure. But it isn’t even a close call. The hum is clearly quieter in that orientation (it’s zero there). I was wondering whether I was getting too close to the input, and of course the headphones don’t help with that. From looking at your photos and Andy’s, it looks like…[Read more]

Thanks for all the work you guys have put into helping guys like me get started!

I too am messing with the location & orientation of the OT, and I found the “headphone trick” to test various locations before you build. I’ll paste the procedure below.

So I set this up: ran power through the PT (and fuse and on/off…[Read more]
