1000 easy! - well maybe not and that serves me right for notloking at the spec. The little triode in the 6DN7 is much more benevolent at only 9K, if I remember. So a CCS is defintely the answer!

honwards to howston!

mulled vodka is preferable and definitely by the litre.

Simon, we'll be in the Owston venue itself. I promise not to drink too much (see above, reference to mulled vodka)

or why not a simple anode choke?

Why can't every valve shouldn't have a choke/transformer on it?

And the subject for tonight's seminar will be 'This house believes that the true pursuit of excellence can only be achieved through the soldering iron, the drill and willing sacrifice of blood; all else is diabolic perversion.' Enthusiasm gets you through the door but then you are on your own!' or g...

Okeeeedokeee, first impressions.... Parlophone CD Vs Capitol (new improved) CD Capitol is louder but once I'd equalised that old and beloved con, the new improved version has more dynamics, more clarity and definition. The Parlophone one sounds 'warm'-ish and softer all round. That's only first impr...

DSOTM did not benefit from being turned into an SACD, imho.

but we'll see.

glad to be of service! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh um.

Not to have heard any of the output of the 'fab four' would be rare indeed. Shirley one would need to be dead, deaf or out of radio contact these last fifty or so years.

Anyway, I'll give them a spin.

but I know, having not had any published, you are in a mean mood!

Ford: Well, I quite liked it?

Arthur: What?!?

Ford: Yes the rhythmic devices that counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor ...

and so on.

All those holes in Blackburn Lancashire.

I can't believe none of you lot haven't heard any of these yet! So, just to push up the bill at Tescos so I get 5p off a litre of fuel, I bought a couple of these new improved CDs. I can compare CD with new CD, CD with LP (with MagMysTour) and I have to admit, foot tapping away that I like the Beatl...

The big Shuaguang 2A3s were virtually new, Anthony. Those Hammonds... if they were mine too, I think they may be 1650s; can't 'member

its becos Ize from Bedfrod ....

Well in days of yore, I've heated chokes by passing too much current and then they get hot - well they would wouldn't they! Back trying to get some oomph out of a 12GN7 in Tractor triode mode, so arguably, the wrong way to get ooommmph. TimHongker chokes are disarmingly small but then so, for exampl...
