ROFL! Guess there's no such thing as too many spare caps.

Spare caps provide their own enjoyment. Charge them up and toss to your friends/wife/dog. Hilarity ensues.

At least I didn't suggest turning them into makeshift NYE fireworks.

Managed to get the film caps on, (in the kitchen even!) and was about to change out the 30k Ohm resistors but noticed they're insulated, I don't have any. So putting this portion of the modding on Hold.. anxious to hear what these simple film caps do.

bypass caps for the power caps, to help bass extension , smoother power curve. aka @therremans (Therremans Mod)

30k resistors below have insulation..

That is a Mullard ECC32

Stoked to know that works on the Darkness..

That tube alone with the GEC just made it one expensive amp.

yeah.. my jaw is still on the floor here.. I was gonna bid on one and nearly fell off my seat when I saw what I thought I saw was what I saw.... O.O

Can I use this pic?.. I wanna blow some peoples minds on other forums...

All those warning labels are scaring *me*. What are the electrolytics in the bubble wrap for?

Those would be Vishay 10w 200 ohms wirewound resistors.

Lol sure I don't mind! I have to admit though, the ECC32 does not sound its best in this circuit, it is not a true 6SN7 equivalent so it is not optimally biased, which I suspect is increasing distortion significantly.

It runs 50% hotter than a 6SN7 does it not?

You have those installed upside down....
