Latest view of CV1285 + 6B4-g and now 5R4WGB (potato masher) that I'd forgotten was in the drawer.

Now playing, and even makes "solid air" seem good.

It's as though we were twins.

Ooh err.

This (these, as there are two) amp is a very good amp. I'm not sure if the CV1285 is any improvement over the D3a, but in my room it goes loud enough without running out of steam.

I thought the "masher" gave a bit more "weight" to the sound but my ears are not audiophile ears.

Thanks Steve.

It's a pity I haven't got any mains transformers big enough to try a regulated supply, that would seem a sensible thing to try next.

Perhaps if I can make a 400-450v regulated supply then the mains transformers on the dual mono PSU can be used for 6B4-g. I must start another thread.

Use a doubler.

I thought they were only used on crappy Chinese amps ?

Ok, don't then.

I've not come across voltage doublers on here before in amp PSU's, and when I have heard about them the comments have been mostly derisory.

Remember the amp I took to Owston that we used Steves 300a's in?
