RE: Calling All L4 EL34i Users

The fact that you increased the current output using a larger power tranny says it all right there. According to Ben he has said many times to me, increasing this and that only increases this and that. Without the power tranny being increased the rest is moot, although I don't think 30% is all that much it is still more than original and far from moot. Yes, I can agree that anything can be improved upon, if that's what is called an improvement although there definitely has to be a point of no return. I would definitely try that amp using one channel only and using another one with one channel only(not bridging) and see how it sounds. That doubles the power supply and should really make a difference.

Years back I used to do that with Dynaco ST-70's and the improvement was drastic, without even adding capacitance anywhere. Improving on the power supply filtering made it even better but the power tranny was then working effortlessly.

Whenever I build anything I way overbuild on the power supply. Sometimes 10 times the needed current. Da Hong See Too was a major believer of power supply overbuilds. He used to be the service tech here in New York for Jadis.
