So, looking at the schematic below...
...I have a few more questions
- 25 turn pot in the filament supply. For the life of me I can't source a 25 turn pot. The 10 turn Bourns 3590 is the closest I can find. Do I need to keep looking for a more sensitive pot or do you think 10 turn is manageable?
- The fuse. You show a fuse on this schematic (that traces back to the B+ supply) but omit it on the 6-Channel schematic that I linked to earlier in the thread. Do you use this fuse or have you removed it?
- HP Filter 50R. In the schematic above you use a 50R resistor leading into the 6E6P but omit it on the 6 Channel schematic. As far as I can tell it is not required for the high-pass RL filter so do you use the 50R or has it been removed?
- Changing valves. Could you please explain to me the process of changing valves, say from 45 to YO186? Please treat me as an imbecile in this regard. I am very interested in the process and think that it will help me better understand its use. If I were to guess I would say shut down the amps; remove 45; install YO186; turn on amps; adjust 100R pot to read ???? through the measuring points; press play. Or maybe it is simpler than that...in some photographs I notice a switch on the "DHT Island" but do not know what it is for.
