Re: Mullard EL38 Triode connected.

Well, the best PP valve amp I can remember hearing was Marks build of Lynns Aurora. But not sure I could justify the cost of the iron and valves.

Re: Distortion 2 to 3 W DHT,IDHT,Multigrid idht.

I said to Mike, “what is going to happen to our valves. (I meant will the go up i. Price of will they go down as the generation still interested die off. “ we are neare that day when we’ve ever been. Mike replied “we will run out of them”. Whats actually happened is as the price of valves have gone...

Re: Distortion 2 to 3 W DHT,IDHT,Multigrid idht.

But its better than knowing nothing. Is it though? I can see some merit for 2nd, but for 3rd and 4th, knowing nothing is to my mind, better than knowing something that is likely to be wrong, but not knowing if its wrong, and by how much. And of course thats before you ask if knowing 2nd-4th is enou...

Re: Distortion 2 to 3 W DHT,IDHT,Multigrid idht.

Not much detail, he doesn't derive the equations he uses. I would guess, its making a very big assumption about the curve between the 5 points he takes as the values that get plugged into the equations. But irrespective of the rigor of those equations, the fact that the small changes you made to the...

Re: Distortion 2 to 3 W DHT,IDHT,Multigrid idht.

So, and I say this gently. You have gone from: 1.3% 2nd, 0.32% 3rd and 0.22% 4th to 1.6% 2nd, 0.07% 3rd and 1.33% 4th Just by remeasuring the lines on the graph. Not sure I would trust any of that to be anywhere close to reality. Adding precision to a number doesn't make it any more accurate. From t...

Re: Mofo

Hmm, a lot of that added complexity would make me think that the original point of the MoFo was being lost. Also, the very different rise and fall time in that square wave display would worry me.

I was thinking in particular where you have 69.65 (for example) that seems hugely precise from that printed page.

How much difference to the numbers do the width of the printed line make?

Re: 45 SET

Who can hear the difference between 2 watt and 1.44 watt, but maybe reducing 2nd from 7% to half is the biggest improvement you could make. Forget boutique components, this is measurable science. This is what the different loadlines look like. Getting better all the time. Biggest improvement you co...

Re: OK…so I’m on wi’ summat

Though as Steve knows the voltage is not regulated. But the difference between the two b+ will be. That I could argue is just as important.

Re: 45 SET

May sound factious but describe what better is. Listen to all your music and decide what it can't do and why. Then fix that. If you can't answer that. Enjoy what you have.
