    Grid Current?

    Not AMPOWER but

    Greg, would you please elaborate on the statement that I highlighted in bold; numbers and names, maybe even a List of the "Top Ten" builders of amplifers powered by alternating current. What makes a builder good or bad, what are the criteria that he or she is rated on? A...

    6 PIN DATA JACK

    I made my own interface to use with my 706MIIG, the first was with the data jack but I did not have any luck with it; the signal out is influenced by a squelch signal. I used a RJ-45 plug to make my second one and connected it into the aux. mic plug. It is controlled by the volume control...

    D&A phantom rework

    Excellent idea, be sure to wind some bifilar type chokes (one for each bank of 5 tubes) and place them in your 120 volt series filament supply line; this will keep RF out of your AC wiring at home. .

    2 Pill Low Dead Key Makes Amp Hang Up

    TRUE STORY: I went to my to my doctor's office and during the exam, I said, "Doctor when I do this (raise my right arm over and behind my head), it hurts". My doctor looks at me and says, "Well don't do that"! We had a great laugh over it! If, your amplifier works as it normally should...

    Nope, I tried that and more; problem is, the 8908 is a Pentode tude, the suppressor grid is isolated as is the screen, the Control Grid and, the cathode. In the 6LW6, the suppressor grid is internally connected to the cathode. The 6LW6 is not a direct substition for the 8908, the 6lw6 has...
