#26 pre amp

Hi !

I'm making my 26 preamp. Some photo of the PSU.

Thats some serious noodles!

I think I see 2 anode chokes, two filament chokes, one main B+ tranny, two other trannys, for filaments? Four octals. Damper diodes?

And you have volume pot and channel selector on the PSU?

/Staffan

Planing to use LCLCLC filter for B+ filtering. Yes. 4 octal for TV damper. 2 separate filament transformer with LCL filtering. All passive filtering used.
The place of volume pot and channel selector will house vintage Weston meters.
:)
 
Taking some time to address the grounding in my #26 preamp as there is some noise, and I got some interesting results with the frequency response.

There is a large peak at about 70KHz. If possible it would be great to get some insight on what might be causeing the instability. Has anyone else seen similar results...?

Setup is very simple - filament bias, LL1660 output

Thanks
