The Amp Garage

Any of these will do:

Seems like they just got tired of dealing with the EF86's shortcomings. If I wanted to get rid of the EF86 while keeping its high gain, I would replace it with a twin triode configured as a cascode. edit: thinking alike, I guess.

Nature vs nurture . The debate will continue . The old Native American saying comes to mind : “There are two wolves inside everyone, a good one and a bad one. Which one wins ? Whichever one you feed” Apparently I fed the wrong one jalapeño poppers last night and it took the form of a rabid badger t...

I'll wager this species dysphoria will become a protected class

Well this disturbing facet of human behavior just cropped up on my radar:

10mV is well minimized, but what is the source? When that is identified it can be not just reduced, eliminated. Even low level oscillations will heterodyne with signal to make the signal less pristine.

I think mosquitoes hear in that range.

If that's the case, i would improve all the grounds, resolder ground wires, sand connections at jacks and pots, clean with solvent and reassemble. That might kill your oscillation.

Greeting citizen, and welcome to this addictive venture. You can absolutely accomplish your vision, but here's why we are suggesting a slightly different path to your goal. You say "What I am trying to do is go out of my way to discover what makes a layout good and how to adapt schematics to a layou...

It looks like a Mont Blanc Kester 44 model.

You sure? Looks like a personal massager. Maybe?

Should I be scared that the red end is attached to the cable? Ouchy.

When breadboarding new circuit designs, instead of just looking at waveforms and using headphones or jockeying a safe interface to rig it to an amp for testing. I clip the output to one of these wireless units and send it to my shop amp. No ground loops, level issues, long cables, etc. They work wel...

What's patentable a geometric shape? Could you alter the size and color of the diamond pattern? But is it worth the headache... Diamond sounds pretty bitchin', tho. Commercial availbility of the pattern would put the claims at risk. The stitching and color are noted as components of the claim. If w...

Not really expensive(about 300eur per piece),in EU Mercury Magnetics cost 50% more.

in the US Mercury cost 50%+ more

Yeah, we have different definitions of expensive.

Cause they're spendy AF.

I did buy a NOS sports car, that was about as wise.
