very nice George,
and as Salas said, the comparison with the 26 line will be very interesting ....
mine is still in my main system and sounds wonderful,
at sometime I tried tube rectification, kept it for a couple of days but didnt see any audible difference, so back to ss ....
I was thinkng at easter time to spend some time to enclose it in a nice wooden box and use a better pot, but maybe I have to try choke load first ...

Congrats George looks very good, I see you use choke anode, I suppose you will connect to a tube amp?
Fukushima?
Vgeorge, I want th elow down on your Speakers. I have some Altec 416's and 288's sitting here waiting on boxes. I was going to put the 416's in a large Ml-TWQT, showing pretty flat response down to 35, with nic slow taper. I am afraid I dont have the rrom for true bass horns like yours. The 18's look like they are from AE.

In my build where they are standing near the bottom cover and the 317 sink they get hot and I did not trust 2W. In George's that the box has height and the 317s dissipate at an angle on a large plate maybe 2W they would suffice. After long time some of my tubes tended to give more heater emission and I adjusted them to 20Ω//3.3Ω finally. So even my happier tubes don't overheat. Thermals and voltages are to be checked and adjusted if necessary in individual builds of course. Even another LM317 brand can have a bit different Vref etc.
Want us to build an X-Ray machine with the brands you suggest?
