Re: Any suggestions for quality solid core wire source

AES carries the Weico 600V topcoat wire now. https://www.tubesandmore.com/products/wire-weico-22awg-stranded-top-coat-pre-tinned-600v-50-feet This is good stuff. Strands stay together. I know what you're talkin about with the strands coming apart, I have some 24AWG topcoat from a pedal parts supplie...

Re: New ODS chassis from Thailand

Dumble trademark is long expired, not that you need a trademark registration in the USA in order to assert legal rights to it. But I have always thought it a bit strange... you can degoop, copy, publish diagrams for etc the man's life work right down to every visual detail including the font on the ...

Re: SSS-style DCCF, independant bias? LND150?

Not cloning a SSS here, actually a 100W high-gain new design and I wanted to put this on a switch and see what it does for me. While this stage may (or may not?) provide harmonic color in the SSS, I think I'm mostly interested in the benefit-effects of change in impedance and lack of coupling cap/po...

SSS-style DCCF, independant bias? LND150?

Howdy,

Questions about the DCCF found on the SSS:

1) How would you modify this circuit to use 2x separate bias trimmers (one for each side)?
2) Thoughts/personal experiences swapping in directly LND150 for the 12AX7 here?

TIA

With respect to just the noise floor, wouldn't we expect thermal noise to be lower when upgrading from a 1/2W resistor to ANY brand 2W resistor?
