Leaky capacitors need replacement?
@ dletch2 The + side of the capacitor connected to the 1kohm resistor go to the screen grid(pin 9) of the output tube via a red/orange color wire, can you see it? 
Leaky capacitors need replacement?
For those who are curious, please take a look at the photo from 6moons.com: https://6moons.com/audioreviews/musicreference/hero_open.jpg Those two 33uf 350v capacitors are smoothing/filtering purpose, you can clearly see it connected to a 1kohm re...

Leaky capacitors need replacement?
Is it right that those capacitors have a life rating of 10,000 hours? Rated 10,000 hours at 105°C, life of a capacitor doubles for every 10 degree Celsius decrease in temperature, that means the capacitor operating life at 55 °C is 320,000 hours!... 
Trouble balancing SME 3009 series II tonearm
Ortofon LH-2000 weight 15.5g and the detachable SME head shell come with 3009II weight 6.4g, that could be why you can't balance the arm, A heavier counter weight or lighter head shell may solve the problem.

The ’Subwoofer Crawl’ If corner placement doesn’t result in optimal bass response, then SVS recommends the ‘subwoofer crawl’ technique. It may sound odd, but this really works and can help determine the best possible placement location if you have...

Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality?
Voltage differences is highly expected, that is the reason insert power diode in series to isolate both PSU. It's perfectly normal one PSU supply current to the load all the time and the other PSU kick-in when higher current is required. That is h... 
Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality?
They are in parallel which means combined together working simultaneously. Actually, both PSU will not output exactly same voltages (e.g. one PSU output 55.1V and the other PSU output 54.9V), the one which output higher voltage will do all the ... 
Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality?
but now they will be doubled up on each channel. Or that will not change inrush? As I mentioned before, those diode in series is to isolate both power supplies and let each power supply only charging its own capacitor.
