Yes, actually, yes. Do your own research at CDC and WHO.
Actually, I have, but I think you've missed my point. Sorry. It's difficult to convey things like this in writing.

Re: COVID, recessions, earthquakes...

Ebola, SARS, MERS, Swine, H1N1 ... is COVID-19 really more dangerous or is there just so much friggin' information pumped out by the second that it overloads the senses. More reporting, more statistics, more "experts" and the godawful pace of the useless media who are driving the current panic. Shel...

Re: Tube question Trainwreck Express

IMO, Rooster is spot on. Xf2's can be very expensive, but they are killer in the Express. Mine are Double O getter. With regard to new production, if you can get the GT Mullard EL34 (I think EL-34-M XF2 copy) - I think Antique sells them - they are respectable. Also, Electroharmix EL-34 for new prod...

Re: How to properly bias an express......

I'm all in on this. Been running what I thought was 70-71% dissipation, but my plates are about 398VDC and I'm dropping 5.6mA and 5.8mA across the Screen Resistors so actual was more like 62-63% :shock: Amp was good there ... is much better at 70-71% actual. It's like having a Chewy Goodness knob, a...

I should have pointed out that I'm not across the CD numbers such as CD19 etc. In Martin's link the caps have either a 500v or a 1000v rating, this has me wondering what this CD thing is all about?
CD thing was about ROHS vs. non-ROHS.
