The Pass Pub: The High-End Off Topic Thread

A ) pretty much correct

B ) just increase values of R2 and R4 ( leave R1 and R3 as is) ; leave caps as is

Got it. Thank you ZM! ...this is supposed to be next winter's project but I'm definitely feeling the fever to get going ASAP! Per your suggestion, transformers will be dual mono 400VA (and conservative @ 18v). Any thoughts on the bang/buck of using 8X Nichicon 15,000uF KG Series 50V? I'm thinking that the 50v caps will probably come in handy in the future. Who knows what wonderful circuits NP might have up his sleeve? 🙂

Cheers,

Frank

I'm afraid if Danny got outta da cage it would be his end - and Murphy's too when Mama found out....

I see no signs of the mighty ZM around today - I suspect he is tangled up in water pipe hose and watching things like dis.... A new Looney Toons animation. [VIDEO] 😀😀😀

The Nueras tube amps

Nelson,
A few years back you bought a a couple of these Nueras amps, a quote in the F4 review, and I was wondering how things turned out.
By any chance, even a small one, have you considered building your own tube design? I asked this question last year and you did not seem interested. With the explosion of tube interest I would like to see something with your experience designed with rather inexpensive sweep tubes.
Many of us have followed your journey through the mosfet amp jungle and I would like to see it rounding the corner to it's source.
Any thoughts?

I think I will need to scrounge through the sofa and see if I can come up with $5 for tour. Heck - parking downtown cost $5.....
Ok I need to dig up $5 from sofa - and $2.50 from each easy chair.....

Don't tell SWMBO - she will do surgery on my wallet while I am sleeping...:Pirate:

Nelson,
As long as I am still above ground when you make the tube move for us faithful followers.
Did anyone mention how nice the weather is in the south this week. Nothing like spring. I have 96 tomato plants in the soil and am looking forward to some truly spendid home cooked meals. Planning for retirement has it's advantages. All with a wiff of solder.
Nelson you also mentioned a vinyl buying spree in the review. Are you still using the expanded groove material?
