Re: C4S'ng the Paramour's 12AT7

Hey Doc. Thanks for the reply during your off week.

I agree no drinking too close to bed. Timing is critical in the pacing and stopping and "passing out." I'm impressed you quit caffeine. I don't partake too much, but I sure do love a cup first thing on a cold morning. As to the fitness, it is critical for quality of life. I find that exercise makes all things better - especially the audio system. If the lungs, heart, and brain are firing on all cylinders - triodes are triple magic. Have you ever listened just after long, hard exercise when your endorphins are still screaming? Absolutely killer. I'm a mountain biking junkie and love the car ride home after a great ride. I pick a choice long improvisational tune, crank up the car audio full ranges, and grin from ear to ear.

[now back to audio] If I just use half the tube, do I leave all of the other half connections open? The Paramour is 6.3 times two, correct? What would you do if it was 12.6 series?

V2 - Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize that the transformer was so close to spec. I think i should be ok with 5mA. The schematic, I believe, sets stock at 4.5mA.

Have a great Friday afternoon, all.

Jeffrey
