Well I was thinking that having 3 wires run in parallel would introduce stray capacitance between the wires. Also having just 1 wire is better than have 3 wires, no stray capacitance between wires. I don't think have 3 ground wires is an advantage trying to acheive better tone. Reduce the number of ...

On the layout; the top of resistors; r7, r5 and r8 have seperate ground wires going to the ground buss. Why not short or interlace a wire between the three resistors (still have the 3 turrets or eyelets) and run ONE ground wire to the ground buss.

I'd also like to see the layout & info on this amp too.

Thanks,
Dave

Here are a few I have saved. I think there were some ax84 amps that used parallel output tubes. There are a few on the hoffman amp site too. Let me know if you need a board built, I build boards on the side.

I bought an Ideal multimeter, google 'Ideal multimeter'. I bought a brand new one off ebay for about $60, new they were a $110. They have many different models. I believe Loews sells them too.

To M Fowler,

So how does the 3 differnet Rockets sound? I am curious if the one with Sozo's has a better sound than the other 2 you have.

Dave

And thanks again, Mark. I have on occaision changed my boards from one run to another to accomodate bigger components that i buy (like SOZO).

Mine are 8 7/8" x 2 1/4"

Here is a link to other DIYers 5e3 voltages from the Hoffman site, just scroll down and look for 5e3 in the file name.

Here's a little theory on what you want to do.

This OT seems like it would work for a Rocket: 4200 & 4,8,16 output, rated at 60w at $70. They have nice PT's too.

This should work this time.

I changed the layout and posted a complete amp.
