Great idea.  Many possibilities without affecting the bias of the power tube.

Do you guys know the difference between a double and triple-mica Sylvania Gold Brand GB6080? Except for the mica, the internal construction is identical. The triple however has a tan colored plastic bottom while the double is black.

Has anyone tried choke loading the cathode of the power tube (6080 etc) of the Crack? I have read about supposed benefits of choke loading a cathode follower.  While I don't have a Crack anymore, I am interested in its effects in respect to another build.

Check out the Bottlehead forums - this topic is discussed rather extensively there in the Crack thread IIRC.

Thanks for that.
 
I know that there has been extensive experimentation with chokes to replace the resistors in the power supply, thus CLCLC or some variation thereof.  I also know that the subject of plate (anode) loading the 12AU7 with a choke has been brought up, but that the experts prefer the C4S.  I haven't seen any mention to date of loading the cathode of the cathode follower with a choke.  Can you please provide me with a link to where you have seen this?
 
Warm regards

Forget about it.  I don't know what I am talking about.  I am just an idiot asking stupid questions.
 
Sorry

Neat idea. Do you have a scope to show the difference between the two bridges? I assume its better.

 Sorry i don't have a scope.To my ears with this MOD the background  is quieter(this crack never have any hum before the cree diodes was installed now it's even quieter),overall sound is smoother.

I thought I would ask. I'm not one to push the double blind test mantra. What's are the part number(s) you used?

could somebody share the speedball manual pdf please ? for some reason I cannot download it and now the webpage says I have reached the download limit 

 

[MoatsArt]

Have you tried emailing Bottlehead? If you purchased the Speedball from them they should have supplied this on a disc.

Cheers

So they'll include a CD with the manuals ? I didn't know about it. But then why'd they put the PDF manuals in the cart ?
Will try to email Doc now, thanks
