Thanks Simon.
Yes the performance of the amp does seem to have gone up another notch.

Dunno about the cap size Paul. I’ll be perfectly honest: I looked at Pete Millett’s E-Linear amp and noted that he used a 40uF cap for his Ultrapath connection. He associated the cap size with the internal resistance of the KT88 in UL mode and argued that a 300B would need a at least a 100uF Ultrapa...

Well today I was having a look through Vacuum Tube Valley, issue 16 and came across a 2001 Lynn Olson article entitled "Ultrapath, Parallel Feed and Western Electric." Now I know of course that in 2023, all this is old hat, but I was intrigued with Olson's argument that using the ultrapath...

I've tried all 4 formats, including pro silver special and all seem as bad as each other.

Taj Mahal & Ry Cooder - Get On Board (2022)

I think I can call the SEP a success now that one or two people have heard it. I've enjoyed getting to the current state of play. Although the SEP works superbly with Steve's hi-efficiency speakers, it still does a remarkably good job on my comparatively inefficient Mission 773 WAF friendly slimline...

Thanks for those observations Steve.

Aye, both the MoFos were excellent. Loved the pair of them. It was also great to hear the SEP on hi-efficiency speakers. And to hear it with those blasted VT75s of course.

…It was a great afternoon, we need to do it again soon ..may or june ?

Sounds good to me.

Great afternoon at Steve's:
Steve, Simon, Scott and me, bacon butties, loads of chat unrelated to hi-fi, a gaggle of MoFos, my amp, a 45 amp and Steve's PX4 to round things off. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing.
Thanks Steve for your hospitality and thanks to all for the good company.

It’s become a Sunday evening ritual. Reminds me of tinned peaches with Carnation milk followed by a bath at six o’clock, then the immortal words “drink your horlicks, it’s school in t’ morning!”
I love it.

Make it sew.

I just bought this bad boy. The idea is to design a mono power amp and power supply around it, specifically for playing Meredith's 78rpm records and other early mono stuff, probably into a big single-driver corner speaker. (Mr Cresswell Jr you will likely have mail soon). Cost me less than I though...
