Rangemaster Noise. (Positive vs. Negative Ground)

[sevenisthenumber]

I built a positive ground and negative ground on vero (both using oc44's) and the negative ground is way more noisy. Does any one have knowledge of why?

Does any one have knowledge of why?
  Only possible why's are possible with what we have here.
1  Transistor is a noisy one?
2  Some other reason.
  1 If you socketted it's pretty easy to try different transistors, if not the leakage/gain circuit for testing Ge's might tell you something.
  2 A once reverse polarized cap, something with the PS, is about all I can think of, off the bat, I would try to nail #1 down further if everything else is exactly the same except the polarities.
