Thats not what our Wills refferring to I think, I'm sure the one's he has in his DHT heater ccts are much smaller, 18A is overkill surely. I must say, I'm very tempted to try this 3 stage DHT approach. I love 'our' Will's organic sound. His kit sounds great too...arf! Got a speaker build to finish f...

Looks like you'll be done in time to go back to work then Dave? Very impressive BTW... ...more like I'll be 'done-in' before I go back to work... I haven't stopped, I'm bloomin' tired.

I've been soooo busy with the build recently I haven't had time to update but here goes... Right, after a lot of debating I took the plunge to glue the Sab's and leave everything 'as is', no extra dampning or any such trickery, I'll leave that for later if needs be.
