Re: GM70 Monoblocks’

I’ll see if that valve is abailable also like el84. Arguably the best WAD amp. Ive just stripped out a Rosenblit amp that broke and wasnt made to work on. I didnt like the sound either. I have kept the filament transformer. Not sure about keeping the attenuator. Ive left it for now. Not sure if I ca...

Re: GM70 Monoblocks’

My state of mind is much better now I’ve weeded out the failed components and arrived at something that sounds better than the pse 801@ and that Ive put to bed class A2. These GM70’s do such a good job in A1 I see a good amp at the end of the tunnel. Im glad I bought the Quad’s. Diana is on board a...

Re: GM70 Monoblocks’

I think it needs the extra gain of the 6072 but I could leave it as it is and get some volume. Im glad you agree about the EL34 and that you and I are on the same page. I agree a quick first pass is the way to go for me in my state.id like to try and get the tributes and output valves done tidy if I...

Re: GM70 Monoblocks’

Yes the 300b was considered also and the px25. But EL34 is ok at this phase. Then since theres a interstage I considered Sukuma style with GM70 . But this should work. I’ll put the big blue variac we used with the gm70 we tortured at eggborough on Colins inefficient electrostatics. These fifty seven...

Re: GM70 Monoblocks’

I’m thinking about the driver, and looked at the 45 the px4 aswel as the aforementioned in my first sketch. But I’ve now decided to use the EL34 triode connected. Since the 400v b2 supply coming straight in at that position is perfect for it. It gives the voltage swing I need for full power of the G...

Ah, I didnt know. Luck then they still had a record of my transformer attenuater wiring diagram which I’d misplaced.

Re: OK…so I’m on wi’ summat

Wound components these days are not wound for 243 volts as theyre imported and we said to the rest of europe our voltage is 230. But it isnt. No wound components from cheap sources have any reserves. More true for chokes you want to use as choke input. Mr Senior Sowter is right.

Re: OK…so I’m on wi’ summat

Good move Stephen. When I had a 212 amp filling the dining room I could never get rid of a hum. One late night I was listening and with lights off I saw a spark from the potted military choke input choke. It was keeping perfect time with the noise. Obviously it was replaced. Problem solved. Just bec...
