OUCH!!!!!! I got a shock from the top plate of my amp!!!!

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Luckily I had some resistors to drain the voltage.
I turned the amp on again and I CAREFULLY measured 517v.
That's the rating of the power supply caps.
What could I have possible done wrong?
I'm working on a variation of the morrison micro amplifier, but using 300b tubes and a 12at7.
2A3 operating points in a direct couple situation.
