Thanks to Miguel, Wayne and Kevin. Replaced diodes in MPX3 with rectifier bridge mounted on back of case. Solder had migrated away from board with cooked diodes. Was able to remove some diode leads without heat. Added bleeder resistors to C54,C55. Replaced Sprague Orange Drops at C3, C103 with...

Thanks! I have been using a 6385 and 2 6bl7gta. Should I substitute one or both tube types until I can get work done? The pictures of mrarroyo's unit are not available. Are there pictures or part specs posted somewhere? Thanks again for your contributions and valuable expertise you have added to...

Quote: Same here no problems. Using 6385 and 6bl7gta's for five years as headphone and preamp. Just opened it up for first time.   What was the switch problem?      

Austin '74 great show! 25 years later Hollywood Bowl '99 - still great! Also, just received MOFI 'SANTANA' = beautiful timeless album.

2X on the above posts. Essential Guitar:33 Masterpieces Decca B000069KIT has a very nice recording with Pepe Romano - this compilation is a bargain MOFI still has 'Jim Hall - Concierto Ultradisc UHR™ SACD Hybrid' with Chet Baker and Paul Desmond - this is one of my favorites - the sound...

Call Mikhail at Singlepower and buy one ECC TYPE#1 adapter for the 'drive' tube position. (He also has tubes!) 6sn7's can be very microphonic, especially in the 'drive' position. You won't see them used in Pre Amps by major manufacturers for this reason. The Sylvania VT231's are quiet but...

After the Rain - Pascal Roge - OK sound quality, don't forget Blood, Sweet and Tears (Just kidding)
