Gad, I can't believe I wasted my beloved Meridian 203 on a valvehead!
Not even a decent amp either, just a Mullard 5-20 clone! :-)

Hey! That's a hand-made classic! :-)

Ignore him Wally, he's sold his soul to the Devil for a DSP-Z9 or somesuch
and will be worshipping at the Church of Squirty Sound before long - you
wait and see...... ;-)

Is that a motorcycle?

Everybody knows that valves are better 'cos the electrons don't become fully
mobile until they're heated up - the resulting agility in the
cathode-to-anode transitions gives an improved the slew rate...

Tis true, they won't move much as 0K. Having said that, they do lots of
other odd things about that temperature.

Merry Christmas! Just been enjoying chestnuts roasted on an open fire
at the pub (yes, really), and now I have to wrap up SWMBOs prezzies.
May not be that well wrapped this year..................... :-)

....and I'm in the process of building something very similar - mostly out
of even more inferior bits! The OPTs seem to be guitar amp ones without UL
taps and I think the mains trannies are probably too small (I don't know
the ratings - they came from a radio rally - but at least they are the
same!). I'm not expecting wonderful results - and I probably won't get
them. :-( The price is ok though. :-) If it costs a lot you're doing it
wrong...
