Absolute Sound and All That Jazz

GSH,

"What has been claimed many times is that my choice of wire(s) is the prime cause of the "no comparison" status. So tell me, now that y'all
can see them both, how likely is this true? Examine the actual amount
of wire on either example. BTW, I did use solid silver wire from plate to grid, and stranded silver on the OPT, which has a partial silver secondary as well. My large gauge copper less than 6" long ground bus, has been named as a huge problem. It's the white wire in the pic posted by Tre. It goes from the center tap of the LOWER DCR PT (than the Hammond in the other amp) to a point near the input. In DF's build the stock red/yellow CT wire of the Hammond is present and connects to the "very special" silver wire under one of the two wires with the blue heat shrink. This is what Jeff is talking about. No guessing anymore."

Grant, if you maxxed out this amp with all the parts and paid retail, how much do you think it would cost? Give it enough thought to come up with a good honest number.

Thanks,

Jamie

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
