Re: el34 comparision

The Tube Store .com has them for 129.00 US.I don't know how much shipping would be from the states though. Steve So, 99€ seems not to be a bad price, considering the cost and risk to have them shipped across the ocean, better for you to buy from Germany. I read and heard only rave reviews about the...

Re: Laser Engraving TW faceplates-A Photo Guide!

It comes from the same tree, just at different places. Black Limba is a much favored wood in boutique lutherie today. As for a finish, I did ...

Re: Laser Engraving TW faceplates-A Photo Guide!

Hello Eric, I received my plates today, how to describe the quality of your work???? I am so happy. Guys, in this thread you can see some very good pictures showing how good looking is Eric's work.

Re: First TW Epress build

Really nice build, congrats, I may start soldering my boards today. This brings me a question about V1 wiring. On pin 6 V1, what is the effect of turning around the socket with a long wire, stuck on the chassis and crossing the heater wire (original layout) instead of using a very short wire going a...

Re: Tweed Caps

Bonjour Stéph !!! C'pas seulement un changement de marque,là, pantoute! I plan on trying to reduce my cathode bypass caps and to try 0.022 µF caps on the PI, so it is not only a brand change. As I have to buy the caps anyway I thought it may be a good opportunity to "upgrade". May be to PVC Mallorys...

Tweed Caps

Hello, I am ready to try defarting my 5e3.
All of the orange caps inside are Sprague 715, Should I keep going the same with my mod or would it benefit to stick the same Mallory's as in a TW or other caps?

Any thoughts??

Thanks in advance,

Fred.
