I did one on the 832a amp using the LM317 (with help !) Nov 2007, seems a long while ago.

Can I have some sawdust to re-pack my head pleeeeeeeeeeeeze ?

I have lots and lots of very sensitive hair.

And I don't !

I need one 3.5mm mono jack plug to convert a 9V adaptor to fit my new bench DMM.

RS do list them but only in 10's !

Anyone got one spare ?

I had a "fee to pay" card from Royal Mail this morning.

Seems someone has sent me a card and underpaid by 0.08p.

It has just cost me £1.08 (£1 handling fee) to arrange to get the card delivered !

I hope it's from someone I like.

Thats just fine coming from you, just 'cos you work with TXs big enough to sit inside of

Hence the hair ?

My original PT15 had quite a low HT, but the current PSU (scuse the pun !) was originally designed for a different amp, then modified to get just over 400V. I find it difficult to describe amp sounds so perhaps another who was at Owston (DTB ?) could have a go, DTB really liked my GM70 and is going ...

Hi Pete My original PT15 amp (with the lightbulbs) was recycled. I built a KT66 SET based on the James D circuit with cathode bias by resistor and then that was modified to take the PT15. There is a thread on this "PT15 revisited" It has a dual mono power supply and two monoblock amps with...

. Is this by any chance the WDpre2 that was upgraded by a the use of a cathode follower?? PRE3 built costs £800.00 I have the WDpre2 transformers available to the audio challenged for free + postage :D Or swap for a pair of 26. . Hi Will, I purchased a set of the series 3, Pre PSU and Phono S some ...

1st step has been to raise the HT a bit. Inserting a 1uf before the choke has raised the HT from 307V to 363V. Not quite the 400V that DTB is using but that will be alright for me. I will play them for a bit before going onto the next stage, that is anode choke, only 200H not 400H like DTB. But I no...

Bit of train spotting followed by a drink ?

Hi Pete ! Welcome to the forum.

I take it you mean PT15 ?

I still have my version of that amp so will be interested to see how your modifications progress !

Were you "Pedro" on the WD forum ?

Well, good as I thought 26 pre was, I have to agree with Andrew regarding the WAD / WD pre's. Went back to Pre3 for a comparison and it seems to be as good as the 26 had got to be. So 26 pre will be retired for the time being unless I come up with any ideas of another project to use the bits. Perhap...
