Hi Frank,

Yes the shellac is for a coherent soundstage and the olive oil for smooth highs!

I could hear on them on arrival - believe it or not - was a local radio station.
I got a CD player has that problem! Each time I use headphone, I hear a radio station! I put a layer of aluminum foil inside the chassis and around the transfromer to improve the situation. It works!

Nice work Icebear! Looks great.

Next you will be buying lots of NOS tubes for it

I take it those are EF86s and ECC83s at the front?
