Shoddy!

Screwing the lid down is a bit final, congrats.

Congrats Dave, well done.

Too late now but I was going to suggest RS do some nice can electrolytics that might have filled those holes, smallest value 150uF tho (500V).

Sorry misundestood, I thought you were saying the driver had to be 4 Watts.

Just to mention - Fg810 is running fine, it's on all day every day, if not streaming music then audio for videos and DVD's. Ditto the Kubelic DAC is cosntantly on for music. I have been repeatedly running a big iTunes shuffle playlist (about 2.5 days' worth, so far :D ), heard it all before natch, s...

If it helps - still using FreePCB - can import netlist from LTspice (with a bit of editing of the netlist file). Latest version(s) Gerber files are compatible with JLC PCB (a nice discovery).

+1.

OK next silly question, why 4 Watts

PS: 2 matched EL84 may bias together, but unlikely to stay matched with use (my personal experience).

Yups, ta muchly.

PPS - just realised it goes right past a cafe that used to be Reepham railway station, know it well.

Looks at a map for Marriott's Way, a-ha right 'cause I was in that area last year. On the radar.

Thanks for that, I have various sketchy plans for summer, cycling might be involved at some point. But also motorbikes, sidecar outfits ... too many irons really :lol: Reminds me I was looking at The Viking Way recently, but Google images suggest some sections are blocked off or otherwise inaccessib...

Just IMO, I don't like the idea of 2 x EL84 in parallel, seems like a step too complicated. Also getting them biased the same with fixed bias couild be a headache. So then what, separate bias circuits with trimmers? I assume the issue is must drive a 2.5k primary? Why can't the secondary load be alt...

I like the holding stand thingy!
