Re: Distilled Dumble
I know that someone has probably done a thread on this subject, but I was wondering if anyone has tried doing a distilled Dumble. After owning a Fuchs Ods, I came to a few conclusions. For me, the three mini-toggles are something I dont need. I always used the bright switch(this can be wired to the...

Re: Songwriter Group Build -- Not Gonna Happen
What would be an appropriate royalty for a builder to provide to the Fischer family for a "tribute" amplifier? What percentage of your profits do you pay? I'm not going to answer that. Part one of your question is for the Fischer family to determine,. Part two is, no disrespect, none of your busine...

Re: Songwriter Group Build -- Not Gonna Happen
Oh please. My switch is bigger than your switch? Seriously? You're not understanding any of this. The point is, the DC rating of commonly used switches is very low. Yet, every amp manufacturer in history has used them as standby switches to switch B+ (DC) well in excess of 10 or 15 times their rati...

Re: Songwriter Group Build -- Not Gonna Happen
Could we consider an alternative take on this thread? Komet still pays royalties for that circuit. You're not only stealing from me, you're stealing from Ken Fischer's family. The guy you all respect so much, remember? "Kenny"? And that about sums it up, Hogy What would be an appropriate royalty for...

Re: cvr with 3 x 10 idea
Your claim seem light in "facts". Could you please quantify your claims?Stevem wrote:Some basic facts for you to ponder here!
Mismatches are quite common in tube amps - especially since the impedances are dynamic with respect to frequency.

Re: First Amp Build - TW Express Kit Results
I always try to encourage folks to think of my offerings as parts packages rather than kits... a kit might imply it comes with instructions or tech help. I generally allow for a bit of DIY left to accommodate the individual preferences of each builder. I don't mind giving away what I know but there...

Re: oops..
Hmm, that could be more correct. They say the memory is the second thing to go... I used to be a navy electrician ('70s) and used the ol' hand crank megger for motors and wire runs, and the larger units for testing LARGE generators. !-2 kV sounds mo' better for a unit that operates in the several hu...

Same, same - "Megger" is the manufacturer of the most commonly used test unit.Structo wrote:Is that like a high pot?
It will apply about 10kV between the windings and ground.

Re: so I fell for the snake oil
Cryo causes compression past elastic deformation and results in change to grain and crystal structure. This is easily proven with cutting tools. That something is "easily proven with cutting tools" doesn't translate to other applications unless they use the same materials. Those changes in grain st...

All suggestions welcome.
Use a coaster when you place a beer atop the amp.
