Re: PSE EL84 Amplifier
But today if I wanted better bass I would follow Simon. There is no longer any point to building a valve bass amp. Last century the place my head was. Valves could do no wrong. But my single amps do kick out enough bass for my requirements. Quad 57’s are wide band enough for me and el34’s at 6 watt...

Re: PSE EL84 Amplifier
NOS Mullards for £14 has its attractions. Be interested what you think of them Paul.

Re: ECL82 SE
Out of interest does anyone have a copy of the WAD ECL82 amp circuit? Nothing's turned up from a web search.

Re: ECL82 SE
Right. I've been round in my usual circles of indecision with this. I spent quite a lot of time working out physical arrangements in AutoCAD as it's tricky squeezing so many chokes in to a compact space. Then I worried about proximity of all the iron and wondered if I really need to breadboard it. T...

Re: C3g Aikido Phono
A question for Nick. IIRC you mentioned when I popped round that you use ceramic caps to ground the input phonos - I used film as that's what I had to hand - are ceramics a better choice for this application? Does it make any difference?

Re: C3g Aikido Phono
The PCBs arrived yesterday so first job was to replace the RIAA filter board. Using my DMM on VAC (no point me trying to do it with a scope!) and it looks like there's 1mV less with the new board. The volume really does need to be all the way up now with no music playing to hear the hum. Nice. Next ...

Re: OK…so I’m on wi’ summat
Is vintage silver mica good? Good question. I bought some big Russian silver mica caps years ago when Russian caps were still dirt cheap on ebay. The only time I found a use for them was in a high pass filter in front of the 45SET I'm using now and they were pretty horrid, the sound seemed broken s...

Impressive Ray, looks like a commercial unit.
I can't remember, did you use Front Panel Express to 3D print the front cover?

And could you hear any difference? I'm guessing not as you didn't comment?
