Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

When it's an inch or four at most, it is a bit unlikely

BUT .......

I can reliably hear theoretically better capacitors as better / nicer, have been doing so since the late 1970s. Commercial quality - silver micas in cool places, MF polypropylene / polycarbonates / teflons in hot spaces.

Bulk-foil laser trimmed R's do sound better, best ROI is in NFB roles, but doubling the wattage of MF R's in a NFB valve-amp will get you close, for even less, just like well established circuit knowledge suggests.

NFB is not a 'bad thing' but it can be. Triodes are feedback devices.
