Yes, remember that it's perfectly OK to run a 120V load between one side

120V load between one side of the line and ground. Indeed, putting load
current on ground is a recipe for hum pickup. And bonding neutral to
ground is even worse.

Except those high enders that went to ground
I don't understand what you mean, Carl.

The Alpha 70/70V and 77 series were built that way and a few other brands I
dont remember right now. Possibly Henry. I did it that way for 30 years on a
HB 2M 1500W amp until I actually drew out the circuit when I wanted to
repackage it into something smaller. It is very easy to make that mistake
and it never affected me....BUT?
