RE: 1629 magic eye level indicator

"black insulation on clip leads and ground wires is for working out the basic circuit only. Not recommended for a final build."

Please tell me that you are joking. What possible difference would the use of black wires make on a level indicator?

I use some generic black wires while working out the basic function of a circuit.

If you are going to build a "modern" tube amplifier circuit, contact either Dennis Fraker of Serious Stereo (Tube Wrangler) or Jeff Medwin of AMA (DrLowMu) for their latest recommended internal hookup wiring.

As for the magic eye circuit, I just copied some of the Mapletree circuit.
