How do I adjust plate voltages?

I did that comparison together with Steven.

I was my first dlator build;
When setting the knobs on the amp and dlator right, the difference is even bigger. I also use a bigger bright cap on the amp.

Erwin, Thanks for that great clip, BTW.

There's also a suggested mod for the Klein here:

You're welcome.

FWIW it's all about tube vs. fet. I like tube more.

Erwin,

Did you try those suggested Klein mods; I think you posted saying you might.

If so, what did you hear as any changes?

No I didn't because the commercial version already has those changes and that's the one we tested.

Did the box shock them?

Hah!

When I was an electrician in the submarine service, one of the things that I had to maintain was vent fog precipitators - basically a 10kV power supply hooked to an electrode down the middle of a pipe to take oil vapors out of the atmosphere. My division officer was NOT trained in EE nor could he keep his hands off gear that I laid out on the bench top for troubleshooting and maintenance. I finally got tired of discharging power supplies...

Heheheh, yeah it can be fun!

When I was in junior high school we had a nutty metal shop teacher.
He really was a kid at heart.
Well he also taught a small engine class (lawn mower engines).
The old engines had a condenser (capacitor) for the ignition system.
He would charge one of those up then say catch! and he would toss it to a student.
Well of course the student would get shocked.
I can't remember how much voltage he put on them but it was enough to get your attention.
Somebody must have complained because he didn't do it anymore after the first few months of school.....

Hey, I have one of Nik's D'lators on the way.

Cool, looking forward to the review.

Please tell me he didn't name it the Dildolator.....

Got Nik's d'lator today, but haven't had a chance to try it.
Not bad... $280 delivered; it shipped Wednesday and arrived Friday (east coast).

As for the name ...SMARTULATOR... LOL

The Malaysia-Lator or the Rip- Me-Off-Lator
I like the Malaysia-Lator it has a real cheap sound to it.

Surely you are not suggesting (by 'cheap') that Ceriatone parts are critically not as good as those found in the 'lators that others make...or
(by 'Rip-Me-Off') that a Ceriatone's layout is a rip, whereas the 'lator designs used by others are not.

...because I don't see how that's the case.

Oh it's just some sour grapes due to some goings on when Nik started building the clones.

The cloners are mad at other cloners.

I think someone should start selling Ceriatone clones.
