A 12AX7 exhibits lower heater induced hum with an AC supply when each half of its heater is operated in parallel, rather than in the series 12v hookup (straight across pins 4&5).  
 
Doc, could you elaborate on this? this is what I was wanting to know about in my post about AC heaters. how is a 12ax7 wired in parallel? would this apply to power tubes as well?
