Think I might've misled you Mike, No you're alright I think ~ I'm talking about I'm doing. You're talking about what you're doing. What I'm doing wasn't a direct response to what you're doing. It's something that's been on the "to do" list for nearly a month. Think I'm losing it now :lol:...

Well this is very interesting. This morning I finally got myself up off my lethargic butt and added one of the 2H chokes I got 2+ weeks ago for the choke input trial. Hitherto there was 350 Ohms worth of resistors twixt rectifier and reservoir to hold the HT under 500V. So what I was primarily worri...

Appendix
Forgot to mention the reason for teams abandoning F1 is because of some new F1 rule, which involves "expenditure capping" of the teams.

Which I interpret as meaning a limit imposed on what each car costs to make.

I know you mention having metal film resistors in the phono, albeit, Holcos, could be a bit sharp sounding?

Ah, thanks Mike, I'll have to investigate :). What's an amplitude envelope BTW? Oh well it's under the "amplify" set of functions. It can do fade in, fade out and maybe some other things. Think I made a RIAA sweep, but actually I think you can tell the sine generator what levels to start ...

Certainly is ~ I was just saying is all ~ think in my case too much almost inaudible crap masking / cancelling / adding to signal detail. Take the crap out, voila! So that's what it sounds like really. Oo-er missus :lol: Also and as well as, using the AC heater windings of course the cathode current...

Ah now wait a minute, it's got a transformer or coil thingy hasn't it? Only I have seen on p-p if there's an imbalance of quiescent current on both halves of a p-p transformer, a square wave ends up skewed toward whichever half has the least current.

Which may be completely irrelevant

Do some people feel more comfortable labelling music? Baroque indeed. Well in Essex it's all comes under the generalised heading of "klassical innit?" The word "crap" comes up quite often as well. Depending how anti-cultured one is. (And I've known some! Like it's a disease or s...
