I have a question I seem to find no reference to in a search. I recently build a Millett Hybrid and not having been a fan of CCS with tube amps, I ended up pulling the 1N5291 after a few days and replacing it with a 22K resistor. Biased at .055ma / 13.0v. The question is, has anyone else done...

There have been several postings and I have been PM'd regarding the Little Dot MKIII and odd noises. The problems are easily solved, actually just normal tube routine. Old tubes, some 40-50 years, need the pins cleaned. Most have been sitting with nothing better to do than oxidize and were not...

Day one, out of the box I checked the amp visually and cleaned the tube pins with isopropyl alcohol and applied a very small amount of Caig Pro Gold contact conditioner to them and plugged it in and flipped the switch. The amp gave no surprises, it was constrained, everything rather...
