I'm considering recabling my Jade with silver wires.   Audiocat when you recabled JADE, did you replace the bias lines as well as signal lines? It appears that the bias line needs not to be changed since no signal is going through?   Thanks!   Quote:

I found that when bias is measured from transformer center tap to end of each diodes, 1: 90V, 2: 180V 3: 260V 4: 328V 5: 377V 6: 410V Clearly multiplied voltage is reducing. But when I measureed voltage across individual diodes themselves, they are all ~ 100V, so at the end of diode No 6...

May be some headfiers wants to hear more about this little electrostat event. So here goes what I experienced in some detail before the memory becomes blurred. It is my first time writing this type of stuff, so please pardon me if it turns out not so good. My primary goal attending this meet...
