The Amp Garage

The worst! Everything soldered to the board, pots, jacks, and crazy hot tubes.

I like measurements. They help me quantify what I experience. I wish I had that spectrum analyzer R.G. had, that function of my Rigol scope is limited. I agree anything real can be measured. Maybe not with the gear and process available to all of us, but it can help identify and filter out the varia...

I have this, I think, very well built JTM45 clone. It was made buy Stephen at Trinity amps. The work looks impeccable, the parts look right... But it sound very different from another good JTM45 clone I previously owned. So your trying to find component level differences in this amp compared to a cl...

Old topic I'm sure, but I can't really find a definite answer for a Tube Amp.. I have a 2 phase Rectifier. The Schematic has a 10n Cap across the Secondary for noise. Okay, cool, but I have a pack 20! Is there any audible benefit to also running them in parallel with the Diodes?? The caps across th...

It's not my wife we pretty much agree on everything. We both hate current pop culture. It's everybody else. My personality is probably the main reason I'm not a very wealthy man . Not a lot I can do about it but try to realize when I'm being an asshole. I hear ya! Many find my sense of humor and pe...

I'll help on occasion if we're going to resuscitate the food thread. Always good to see what others are doing and find a little inspiration.

Edit: I'm trying to be a positive and more likeable person. But its all rigged billionaires dont leave games upto chance It's safe to root for them again.The Chiefs have been Popwashed. The team has now been cleansed of sin, baptized in the attentions of the worlds pop goddess. If that doesn't do i...

Edit: I've been working on being a more positive and likeable person. I used the same line on my wife. She responded with "Do not try, Do or do not, there is no try." In the last 25 years I never had a clue she knew squat about Star Wars, or The Rock, for that matter.It almost took the sting out.

Touch-up the cap connections. Your tap may have been hard enough to affect another joint, so if that cap
didn't do it, reheat connections closest to it. Of course the cap may have an internal intermittent contact.

Good luck cbass!

Having done government travel for decades I can tell you in large cities the listed hotel rates are low. The hotels accept them, if they are contracted with the gov't, but that won't apply in your situation.

The power tubes are driven at the cathodes, and the suppressor/beam forming plates are grounded, but they are internally connected. So how is the cathode modulating the current flow if it's grounded? What am I missing?

Just found Surplus Sales of Nebraska.
The site is huge with new and surplus parts of every
description. Lots of tubes. Here's a source for those old SVT tubes:

I wish he would have pinked or used white noise comparisons.
