Thanks for the great summary, I've added it to my notes. I'll be happy to save the $100, capacitor rolling could be a future option. Thats great news about adding the 0.18uf VitaminQ's to Beezar, I remember reading about that discovery earlier too(I'm reading through the thread backwards currently). I'm really happy to be at the front line for the improvements, if only everything in DIY was this well researched as a community.
I'll try to contact Amphead tomorrow to ask about possible impending problems and the balanced implementation. If I get this done properly guys, I'll be happy to provide some notes on the experience.

So, the ES's can give great performance with the right bypass. They're pretty good with Wima's, too. ES's with those VitQ's in front and Wima's elsewhere, 12FK6's, and 2SC3422/2SA1359's is very hard to beat and not very expensive, either - at least $100 cheaper in parts than using Black Gates. Black Gates are very nice and unbeatable if you have the time for break-in and use them often (they will lose their break-in if you let them sit too long). So, take your pick, I guess. |
