Thanks! But I still think it would be a good idea to have a "sticky" somewhere so I don't have to try to remember where I saved it. lol

Would you be willing to put a link to this doc in your signature? Otherwise, I have no idea how to find it....

Good idea - now in my signature

From my personal taste and experience, paying more does NOT guarantee getting more / better!
Many times I preferred the cheaper amp or headphone...

Words that can’t ring any truer.

I’ve started a journey looking for a specific sound. I have two stops which is the Teton and another amp.

If they don’t work out then I’ve decided that I have all I need.

Interestingly, in some cases - I like the cheaper option even when both are by the same company!
Couple examples: I personally like Focal Clear better than Utopia, and I like Headamp's GS-X Mini better than the big brother GS-X MK2...

One of @L0rdGwyn's 7802's tubes was acting up, so I had to smack it around!

Now it's behaving gloriously.

How dare you.

JK man glad we were able to troubleshoot it

The best rectifier guys, do not spend money on other stuff than:

I have just reported you to TPS (Tube Protective Services)!

 

[Phantaminum]

I have just reported you to TBS (Tube Protective Services)!

I’ve also reported him to the Tube Battered Hotline. Lift another hand to an innocent tube will you!?

 

[heliosphann]

It's @L0rdGwyn fault!

Thanks for this. That note on 5U4G rectifier -
OK when running 6BX7 or 6BL7 (2, 4 or 6 tubes) but not other output tubes!

Can someone explain to me why this is so.

I was looking at a Telefunken RGN4004 this morning. Looks similar to your rectifier with mesh plates. Can the RGN4004 be used in the GEL3N and if so, with what adapter?

Get a RGN4004 to 3DG4 adapter I am sure Deyan can make this.

Deyan is a godsend to our midst. I'll be collecting some rectifiers along the way before the amp's build, thanks to Ken who gave me some valuable pointers more than a year ago.

 

[2359glenn]

You know I was going to stop putting the 3DG4 option in my amps. I usually give one with the amp but nobody uses them.
Guess I will leave it in now that everyone in using the 4 volt rectifiers with a 3DG4 adapter

 

[UntilThen]

Glenn, I will be using the 3DG4. It has the lowest voltage drop. So keep a shiny looking one for me.

I have to see what I got left I haven't bought any for awhile.
Sylvania is the best.
