Hats Off To Mr. Joppa

A while back he answered a query I had about the Parafeed cap in my Doc B/John Tucker Simple 45 and suggested swapping the 10uF for 2.5 to 5. I went with 4.7 because it was the smallest value Obbligato Oil that would still juuust peek out of the top plate.

I thought there was an increase in texture of the bass as well as better detail up high. THat was a few months ago.

Since I recently completed a new pre-amp, I went back to the 45 after listening for a month or so solely to it with my KT-88 mono blocks. I knew the character of the pre-amp (JEL 76/6SN7 Line Stage) pretty well by this time and was ready to take the 4.7uF for a ride. This is a different amp. As good as it's been as my main amp since 2003, Now it's up there with the best I've heard.

It may be awhile before I go back to the muscle amps, as good as they are. Thanks, Paul!
