Your Gold-leaf idea sounds absolutely briliant. Please be sure to send me ( and the rest ov us ) some Pix when it is done. Did you think you needed some special permission for something? ask and ye shall recieve.Of course there will be another linestage. Several most likely, God willing.
Still trying to track down some minor troublew with the new one. I decided it sounds better with 12BY7's than with 12GN7. I will have to put it on the bench and measure it for things like output z and confirm frequency response. Excepting the small noise problem, it is better than te previous one, and if it measures as well as I think it will...I am expanding into DH valves and multi-chassis construction.
