hookup wire for crack

I think that it did.  I had some unexpected improvements.  after I shifted and desoldered/resoldered those wires, the ground noise moved from the right channel, to equally in both.  But I thought that overall noise was less as well. I would not have thought just routing wires differently would do much.  It may have been the resolder as well, but whatever.  After I removed the resistors, the ground noise doesn't really become detectable until the volume is Really high.  so I'm just left with the hiss right now.  I would like to eliminate the ground type noise completely, but thats just my OCD.  I know its there, even though it doesn't effect general listening. 

The hiss I can deal with if thats just a tube thing.  have to fine one though that doesn't sound like there is a fly trapped in the right ear cup, and sitting next to a guitar amp that is feeding back.  lol. 

Would it be better for me to use the speedball wire that I originally asked about in this thread?  I can't imagine the radio shack wire being good, but maybe in doesn't matter in its placement.  referring to the page 19 correction.

"Page 19 -  you could change 2" wire from power trans terminal 4 to 22L at the bottom of the page to 3" and connect it to terminal 14U rather than 22L. It will work either way, but this may give a slightly lower noise floor. (This is mostly correct after 4/26 but manuals labeled 4/26/10 say mistakenly 15U rather than 14U)"


 
The Speedball wire is very expensive, high quality wire, so I would recommend using that.

Wiring layout is pretty critical.
 
ok, I'll use it.  I was just worried about the difference in thickness.  its an easy change out.
Thanks for all your help here.  Looks like the tube rolling forum is my next stop I think.
