Where in the World..... is Paul Cornford?

Well if you study the way it's built,
all the best amplifiers have the grounds split; signal and power supply.
And all the noisy amplifiers have the grounds combined.

So if you take a noisy amplifier like (horrible) Ceriatone...
you can cut the noise in half (or better) just by separating the grounds.

As I learned amps from you, Ivan, Don P, Neil, 67 plexi

I was fortunate to have good schematics to learn symbols alongside the actual amp to correlate the written with the 3d real deal.
Having the actual amp would prove invaluable in retaining knowledge of what was what schematics wise.

I almost traded a guitar for a Cornford Hurricane, but the other guy backed out. Instead I ended up trading it for a Sheldon Truetone. Very happy I did.
