Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Re: Answer

Hi Cut-Throat,

Hope your Star Chief are coming along nicely.

You will be impressed at the difference compared to the DRD45.

To answer your question, I would have kept them to experiment on. By that I mean they would have given me the option of trying out different 'flavours' on the DRD to gauge what effect changes make and whether to implement them in the Star Chief. I would hate to change something in the Star Chief and have it all go wrong with my beginer soldering skills. I don't even know how to discharge a capacitor yet!

I have a friend who has changed to battery bias and claims it has had the greatest improvement. Also some resistors can be changed to Bulk Metal Foils and perhaps change caps to Vcaps.

So, for the price you would get for your DRD45s it makes sense to keep them IMO.

Not so smart after all am I!!!

cheers

smart
