So yesterday I had to go to Home Depot in Colma (the burbs), and passed a Sizzler restaurant. I didn't even know they were still around! Last time I ate at Sizzler was when I was 17, and my buddy worked there (so naturally he fed me for free). I thought what the hell, pulled in and saw that Malibu Chicken had survived their menu for the last 40 years, so that's what I ordered. The young man informed me that if I was 55 or older I could get the senior plate of said Malibu Chicken. "As a matter of fact" says I... So for a paltry $11.00 I had said Chicken, baked potato, Texas toast and a large salad. That also included the soda fountain. Better than memory, and I left full and happy. Waiter's eyes gleamed at my $5 tip. Oh the simple things!5 points

Updates: . With the E80CC has more gain. I think it is an improvement over the 6189. I like it much more with the E80CC. . JJ octett EL34 matched, off set is around 1~2volt. Balance 1~2volt too. It really deserves to invest in a completely matched octet (It's expensive but it makes up) Did I say that it runs very hot?2 points

I made some modifications to my Megatron. Most of them are under the hood. changed the CCS tubes filament supply transformers from 25VA Antek AN 0206 to 50VA AS 0506 (one for each channel). Now the under-load filament voltage is at 6.15v. changed the transformer supplying the front end filament and current sink to 50VA Antek 0512 to accommodate the higher filament supply when using E80CC in place of the 12AU7 and drill some holes on the PSU chassis to help with cooling. added an LED indicator on the amp chassis which comes on when HV supply is on.2 points

thanks headcase. it was ok, apart from a dell laptop losing it's SSD drive ?. so new computer it is! zooms in and out of PCB design real fast https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-desktop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-1tb-hard-drive-120gb-solid-state-drive-gray-black/6180825.p?skuId=61808251 point

This is the brainchild of Bob Stuart, co-founder of Meridian. It really needs the - er - Meridian MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) decoder. The UltraDAC, which is $23k. But you don't need the physical media - you can stream it from Tidal HiFi, and go via Meridian's cheapo decoder that connects to your PC for a couple of hundred - assuming Tidal comes from there. If you go through a network connection, you need the UltraDAC. But it is downward compatible - you can play the MQA discs on a regular CD player.1 point

Skated Maryhill this weekend at the summer RVOD G-Ride. Only skated the first day due to injuries, but still had a pretty good time. Here is my favorite run: And here is the run that Brent was probably eating a biscuit during, advanced to the relevant portion:1 point

I think that now it´s finished but I want to add a few resistor on the heaters filaments because I have 6.8vAC. Sometimes this happens to me with the Toroidy transformers. Front end tubes draw about 11,5mA. I was surprised that this amplifier has very little gain. On the other hand it makes up for it with a very pleasant and musical sound. I´m waiting a pair of E80CC for replacement the 6189.1 point

As Kevin said the upper tubes (CCS) need to match the lower tubes (output) on each channel to get the lowest DC offset. I was able to get mine to within 3 -4 VDC using better matched tubes. I paralleled the 21K with another resistor to bring it down to 15K and get the front end B+ to about 290VDC. In my case, the front end tubes draw about 8.5mA total. And where are the pics?1 point
