Maybe mine will come soon.
I'm sorry Joe. I ran out of octal boards. The new batch of octals were shipped to me yesterday.

If you have not received an email that they have been shipped. They have not been shipped.

Regards and apologies,
Bas

Bas,

Did the boards arrive yet?

First I plan to try 6SL7s in / 6AS7s out.
What is a reasonable cathode resistor to use to give me lots of gain?

I thought I was a gain freak. The 6SL7's will be way too much gain. The 6SN7/6SN7 Aikidio I built has more than enough gain for anybody.



Burnt,
When you say, "...way too much gain" - do you think enough gain for a phono stage?
 
Octal boards.

Hello Bas.Please forgive me for my absence but I've been working working away and haven't had time to check the forum.I haven't received any emails as I normally do so I wrongly assumed there had been no activity.I see tonight that there has been quite a few posts since I last talked to you. I did ask for two octal boards and two power supply boards.If they've been sold then that's my bad luck for not making more effort, but if you have them can I pay you please?
Regards, Simon.
 
Octal and PSU boards.

Hi there Bas. I've not had much luck just lately and just to make matters worse my PC gave up just after my last post to you.My hard drive had packed in and refused to restart.So I've bought another tower today and we're up and running again and hopefully you will have received a payment from me via paypal. I'm very grateful to you for your patience. Regards, Si.
PS.This is a warning to everyone.Back up your PC every once in a while or you may lose some important files.I'll be doing mine regularly from now on!
