Re: Building a 5 valve A.C. amplifier from scratch
Yes, I agree about the gold plated claims of the Decware manufactures and the fact that technically it's not the best design. And I did say that Decware blows its own trumpet in my opinion 🙂
I was just commenting that I tried the design and I have put my pair of Quad ll's in the loft, no mean feat I'd say, I know that is all down to personal preference, although 40 plus years of tinkering professionally and as a hobby may count for something?
I have had favourable comments from a number of Dyed in the Wool Hi-Fi buffs, audiofoolery? Possibly but the consensus has been positive.
The Mullard is indeed a fine design and well proven.
My aim in commenting was to help a fellow enthusiast who is starting out and the fact that there was a bit of help from a series of videos on YouTube about the construction was one of the attractions although I suppose they could be useful in general anyway without actually going for the Zen.
With all good intentions.....
