EF86 36 watt start up buzz
Hi all. Just bringing up a new 36 watt build with EF86 preamp. At about 50 volts on the variac I've already developed a buzz. Sounds like 60 Hz, not filter hum. Ideas where to start looking? Thanks.

Try grounding the EF86 screen via a 0.2 uF paper capacitor, and read the other hints in the application notes on this data sheet -
