Dear Jean-Claude,Thank you. You will not have any soldering problems with the phono board, just do not cut the silver wire short, otherwise you will burn your hands. That thick silver wire is a beauty to use.
I have received GE tubes for the ECC82 and 83.
I had some good ones from my AN OTO SE amp, a Mullard CV491 (?)
for ECC82 and 2 Telefunken ECC83. They were already burnt-in and dead silent. I have a JJ Tesla 82 though on the DAC 1.1.I upgraded from scratch to the tantalum (1W only) on the M2 but
the WKz's were just too expensive. I am planning to do a gradual upgrade to BG's. Luckily there are only 2 electrolytics that sit on the phono board and the easiest piece to change, if the holes ar ebig enough. I do not know.Do they fit in well? I understand some fellow inmates were having troubles to fit fat BG's?
Hi
You can try Panasonic TSHA TSHB series instead of BG's.Great sounding caps and easy to fit . Some consider them equal to BG's for a fraction of cost and size.(They don't have that sexy BG's look though ;0). Regards. L

Hiwhere could you find these caps ?
Jean
Digikey has them in USA .I'm sure they are also available in EU.

Currently, I do not have access to my gear since my apartment is being painted.I will tell you next week which capacitor I already changed.
If you have some TELEFUNKEN ECC83 just keep them.Regards
