1st Quickie! With small problem.

Yeah, the hum balance is what I've been trying to set. Turns out my meter was the problem. It wouldn't read that low.
Got a good one and hum is balanced. 
Thanks, Jess

The "hum balance" is a pot on Directly Heated Triode (DHT) amps that lowers hum caused by the AC heated cathodes.  In a DHT the cathode itself is the heater.  I have Paramours, they are monoblock versions of the Stereomour.  To adjust the hum balance I need to short the inputs of the amps and adjust for the lowest voltage at the speaker outputs.  It is necessary every time I swap tubes.

Don't get me wrong, I have only worn out one set of tubes but have several flavors of tubes I use.

I've combined two issues/devices on this thread, sorry. Y'all still have been a lot of help. The hum balance was for a Stereomour.
Thanks, Jesse
