Guessing it is one that will/might grow on you. For post OK Computer, I would certainly put it above KoL, put below Kid A, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief. Waiting for the non-festival tour dates now...

Yes, listening now too! Very pleased with this... and studio version of "True love waits" finally released.

Happy birthday!

It would look like this:

Yes they did (they were the CMC ones), but the spacing was perfect for my purposes. Down to the threaded portion seems odd though - wouldn't that mean the actual socket portion is sitting only a few millimetres from the board?

Agree with Kevin, but I think he is referring to original his chassis design. I am guessing from what you are saying that with your top plate installed that there is no room for the trimpots to be on the up facing side of the board - is that right? You don't "have" to mount the trimpots on that side, it just makes it easier to adjust the batteries with the bottom plate on and the amp sitting flat. And I am also guessing that your concern with the octals is that they would protrude too far above your top plate? You could go either way I suppose, just bearing in mind the you if you drill the board and all the other parts are installed, you run the risk of some conductive debris being lodged somewhere unknown until the time that you power on the amp. or you could check ebay for some sockets that don't have the bumps in the pins.

^ any recommendations on a good crimper?

What voltage psu have you built? Looks to be 400v or is it less?

Sameer, how much do you need? I can send you some in a few different colors.

Fuck, if true this is certainly worse than the voluntary raping that his customers receive.

Was it just a faulty K216?

Awesome work Kerry! 3PPSG requires a vise to press them through, or you need to drill out the tabs. 10PPSG will fit all the transistors used without modification or the use of a vise.

Hey, me too, but for unrelated pricejapan stupidity. Though flappy bird said he would let me post again if i gave him a good teabagging - didn't think it was worth it.

Happy Birthday, Wachara!

$0.20/pc for 1968 are probably fakes. Also, it would probably help folks to better help you if you posted some pictures.

Those look like the old EL60 with factory attached 8-pin sockets and re-labelled as EL34.

would that include the grlv, grhv and carbon boards as well?

aren't the voltages different from the 6dj8? Not something I would recommend or experiment with on a T2.

Try the 6dj8 first regarding the clicks and the pops - that's where I would look.

That's good news. And yes, current limiting is happening. It is the 30ohm on the -500 that does it - drop it to 25 or thereabouts. On Paul's T2 traffos, someone else from that same buy is getting a lot of hum as well. My set is quiet though, so go figure.

happy birthday, Craig!

the high pitched whining is not unusual, but there shouldn't be any once it is dialed in. also, shouldn't be any downside to firing up both sides at the same time since you have fired up each side individually already. hard to say what is going on after you sheared the led. Was it running when it happened? Also you shouldn't have to disengage the heatsinks to replace the front plate. As Marc pointed out, the lower negative voltages suggests current limiting, but it shouldn't be happening with only one side turned on.

does sound like it, unless he only has one umbilical.

Pm'd, but thought I would post it here in case others were wondering - is there still time to add one's name to the spreadsheet?
