What price are you looking at ?

£21.53 for a pair delivered from zhangsheng on ebay. It's a drop in the ocean, but when UX4s are a couple of quid...

A thought occurs. A little more HT and bias for the 10Y I currently have in Madness and it'll swing 160V... So I could replace the 300Bs with GM70 and bung a load of HT in and the amp's nearly there - 26-10Y-GM70. A question though as I'm not completely sure I've got the first stage set up right. Wh...

Blimey, why are the bases so expensive? Volume I guess.

Ah, should be fine then!

Haven't you been busy whilst I've been occupied today! Thanks for the info Lee - very tempting I have to say.

So what's everyone having for tea? Monday night's curry night

What sort of money are they? Have a read up here Poppit -> http://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=56.0 ..and here http://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=300.0;attach=35 Yeah, they're the links. I need to be a member to view though. S'pose I should register, but I...

Ah yes, that makes sense. Guess I'm trying not to make any assumptions with the potential (no pun intended) for disaster!

Dunno but I believe there was some disagreement. Think his problem was a bit closer to home sadly.

Thanks David. Perhaps I should email him, but then I'll probably talk myself in to one! An idea of cost would be interesting though.

I found that link to Oswalds Mill. Reminds me of Darren.

If you really fancy an armless Lenco based project maybe try a Peter's-Top-Plate (PTP) from the Lenco Heaven forum. Hadn't seen these before Dave - they look great, and I have GL75 squirrelled away for a rainy day. What sort of money are they? The link on Lenco Heaven seems to need me to be registe...

Hmmm, I thought it probably wouldn't be ideal putting chokes in the earth rail but there sounds to be more problems than I thought. Think I'll try to keep the chokes in the HT. I wondered what the rating of the choke wire enamel is? Perhaps that's not an issue but I was going to check with Kimm anyw...

6EM7 sounds like a decent place to start then.

Thanks Phil, I'll bear that in mind .

I wouldn't hold your breath Dave - it's gonna be a bit of a long term job this one. Well, until my curiosity gets the better of me any way

Ah right, I'll bear that in mind when I look at the curves. I have some 6DN7s too which I've never used - I'll check those out too.
