I think Ryan has done the fix. My build should only have 12V tubes available (but not HA's Mullard - That's fine Larry!) - I haven't seen it in months but I'll mod it as soon as it get's back from the 'Jam! (Blutarsky had noticed some noise with his IEMs, the fix should cure it...)

I will be taking my CTH along with me as well to Canjam..will probably request to set it up on someone's table.

Chris, I totally see now what you mean by an amp for 150$ that you can thrown in the bag and go

Wondering if the builds are "standard" builds & whether they have the C3H revision. But w/the background "noise" at meets the corrected C3H is probably not so important...

Edit: Also curious about c4 couplers they might have. Think most that have WIMAs or Sonicap Gen IIs notice a subtle improvement.
The have the corrected c3h and Sonicap Gen IIs

Good evening (for some of us, I guess).
I'm kinda new around in the CTH thread, and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction concerning the following question:

1. Is it better to have 2 fuses (on the primary side and the secondary side, since I've got a toroid now (50VA)) or just a single?

Greetz and thx for every help!

The C3H cap, is the one posted (I ordered it) just one that will fit or is there a different one that may be better if there's no space restriction?

Based on my research, most of which posted here, I found no improvement audible or on scope going above 330uF low impedance cap. But if you don't have a 330uf low imped around anything from 270uf -> 470uf should do.

Great news, thanks.
I got it in the mail today so now I'm set. Just gotta fit it and slap it in the case and wire it up with all the right connectors, which should arrive tomorrow
