Hi Ed I've just bought a Chinese Sound Luster KT88 from Andrew I and I'm happy with it. Mine too has no chassis earth and wondered if earthing via phono sockets was sufficient. Hi Adrian I put a biting washer on one of the trannie pot legs and wired the socket earth to this. I posted a request for ...

Hi Simon thanks for that...

Aikido question

I was just juggling figures on an aikido I was using as the front end to a mosfet hybrid and something in Colin Hepburn's thread prompted me to double check a few things.
