The Amp Garage

Yeah its hard to get stuff across sometimes. I avoid guys who have little exp with this stuff, guitars and amps that is, cos they quote over the top pricing. Aus does have stupid import sizes that feck us up, stupid length rules. On top of that anything over a grand gets hit with tariffs. But ive ha...

Gees them ERO caps with the foil finish look bloody cool!!
Opinions on em? They look great and are cheap az.
German made too.

katopan, maybe we can split the ships. Im in Ringwood east.

Hahaha, cousin Bob in Pittsburgh, ya!
Well i was gonna build my AC10 clone with styrenes that ive got, was a moment of weakness thinking sozos. Looks like its back to the styrenes!

30 bucks shipping for a few caps to australia??? Last set i got cost me less than half that. Bumholes.

Hey buddy, been away just seen this, no good!!
But my dad had a 6 way a few years ago, the life that came back to him has been amazing. Its a fresh start mate, you wont know yourself in a little while from now! Glad it was caught when it was mate, thats the good story here.

Goot over here.

Thanks Martin, i was thinking of getting that voltage up further. Im running around 450V i think with this PT and GZ34 from memory, used the pT prior to this build. Might be a little high for this amp so will tune it as i go. Was looking at maybe 60-80V a a reference, more concerned with grounding a...

Im in the midst of a JTM50 build and am looking at elevating the heaters. Im using separate filters on all stages, all 32uf. With the screen cap im using a dual 32uf can, one side unused. COuld i place this divider across the can from the screen node side? Looking at Andys pic here, if i dropped a 1...

Killer looking build TM, real nice. I scored a mojo smallbox and a chassis recently thru a buddy. I had a jtm PT and a merc plexi OT on the shelf, everything else in the drawers too, so i figured a JTM50 was on the cards. Kinda worked my own board layout, PS caps and droppers at each cathode, and us...

This is what i stumbled across at Metro.

Looks odd. Anyone using it chime in with some goss?

Is there much in these two recs apart from heater voltages?
Im getting my parts together for my AC10 which uses a EZ81. I did my AC15/zwreck half power using a 5Y3 and love the results.
BUT i really really dig on the AC10 vibe and dont wanna mess with it too much.

Yeah Cliff, youre right i now itll be a noisy bugger. And i know once its dialed i. thats where it will stay. I am curious tho to hear what the variations are. After all that divider is basically a 100k pot, whos to say those values are perfection? Certainly with my buddies amp, its a little off the...

Having a thought regards an adjustable split load plate resistance, using a pot. Just did an express with the fast grad switching and its great! Better in fact than on my concorde! Also have a buddy doing a 6V6 express and he played mine and loved grad mode. Just thinking that if i had a 47k fixed R...
