Still tryin different tubes , quite amazing how different each one changes the whole amp. One tube for key of this, another for that,solfter ,punchy,smooth,sharpe,dirty, clean . The worst ones are easy to say no to. But some are so close sound,but act differrent.
Truly a remarkable Amp 8)

Rewired again & again with parts. The mustard caps smooth the bite down to a unreal . Installed a fan to keep the air moving. I had a good luck with power tubes, it seems my four ballanced groove tubes i bought in 84 ,are Sylvania's Big Bottle 6CA7. Now i know why she sounds so amazing!
I have the solution to express hiss. Just play at 12aclock for a 1/2hour and you wound hear it anymore that day. Then again you wont be hearing phone ring or anything else for that matter!!!! :D
V1 RCA 12ax7
V2 RCA12ax7
V3 RCA 7025
V4 /V5 Sylvania 6CA7 (labled & tested by Groove Tube)

Ps. She still needs a proper chassie & cabinet. so dont take it too hard if you dont dig my seen :wink:
