Post Subject: 12.1k ResistorPosted by anthony on: 3/4/2017
Hi Romy,
Minor question with hopefully a simple answer.
In the DSET schematic you have a 12.1k resistor in the bias for channels B, C, D and F. I have some nice 12k resistors here (not 12.1k) that I could use in those positions...can you see a problem with this? A couple of years back I got a bulk lot of Vishay VTA55 60R resistors which are the axial leaded equivalent of S102. I plan to use these as grid stoppers (will use 60R not 50R as in the schematic) and I will also use them to tie grid to plate in the 6E5P/6E6P tubes.
Can you see any problems?
I can't wait to build these amps. The chassis' are in the final stages of design so hopefully I can have some steel cut and powder-coated in the next few weeks.
Regards,
Anthony
PS - I have been listening to the prototyped fullrange Melq through a single speaker for a few weeks. The speaker is not appropriate for the amplifier but there is still this "uprightness" to how it handles dynamic changes that it so wonderful. Yesterday I switched back to a solid state amp in stereo and I got volume and bass control but it is sterile in comparison...that dynamic change is almost monotonic and quite boring by comparison. I'm looking forward to getting the Melq onto some horns!Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
