techie bits left for wiser heads than mine...


Anyway, the amp is sounding superb, the svets & mulls are running in
nicely and with my simple AE Evo 3's I can honestly say in the 5 years
Ive been into hi-fi Im happy, and its cost me little cash! Funny thing
is, as Im of a time after valves my mates, who have never seen them
before, think theyre something new as it sounds so much better than
anything Ive had before!! I dont like to tell 'em the truth ;-).


Why ever not?

I like the idea of people thinking that valves are something new:-))
Tell 'em the truth, they are listening to 100 year old technology which,
in the opinion of many, is still out in front:-)


On the tweek front, Ive no plans for the minute exept put a 10Ohm
resister in line with the led as its too bloody bright and Im too much
of a tart to be happy with black leccy tape over it!!

Bugger that, just rub the LED over a bit with a blue felt tip pen! ;-)'

Is the LED powered from the heater circuit?
If so it may have a 330 Ohm resistor.
I find a LED drawing 20mA is far too bright, and distracts from the
glowing bottles. Adding 100 Ohm will not make much improvement.
I use 1k2 . That's mellow:-)


Cordially,
