Yes, the buzz would most likely be the reg dropping out.

Yes, if you look at the output on a scope what you see in those conditions are fast low going spikes in the output. Its why checking with a meter doesn't give the full picture as the RMS value of the output will be about the same.

Unfortunately I don't have an o'scope but it was obvious when listening that something was awry.
I keep thinking about buying an oscilloscope but always seem to find something else to spend my money on!

Received some additional PCBs from Andrew today. They'll probably go into a Bartola 3A5 preamp.... ...one day!

I built 8 in a marathon session at the weekend. I found the production line method to work better. Do the smd cassia on all boards, do the cc resistors, etc.

I adopted the same approach when I had eight to assemble for the 300B OTL project!

Hello Andrew,
I would like to buy 2xsmall and 2xlarge boards. If you still have some available, could you send me a PM, please?
Thanks

It's no problem for me to wait. Please send me a PM when the boards are ready to ship or for further details. I'm new to this forum, so I'm not able to initiate a conversation via PM.
Thanks
