Get better caps and resistors for the signal path.

209.110.231.15

The supplied ones are cheapo electronics store stuff, not a good grade for top-notch audio. You'll need:

2 - 10K Ohm - 1/2w resistors (R23 & R24)
2 - .22/250v capacitors (C1 & C6) Hovland is good.

Call Ron Welborne at Welborne Labs (303-470-6585) and he can get you these caps and resistors for about $25. I just ordered mine. You can also get these parts from Sonic Frontiers Assemblage Kit Division, Angela Electronics, or Cary's Audio Engineering Division, Antique Electronics and many other places. Tomorrow, I'll order NOS tubes a 5751 and EL84's.

(I assume that you're building the kit? If so be careful and atake your time. There's no picture to show you how the wiring should look when finished, and you can end up with parts too close together if you're not careful. I found one resistor that wasn't in the instructions and had to track it down on the schematic to figure out where it went.)

Good luck, and have fun.
