Among the various manufacturers .... Which is Cornell Dubilier, General Electric oil paper which is most useful for this application? I tried to look for Sprague too but I couldn't find anything.

Many of my designs in audio have been inspired by your work which you published in Sound Practices in the 90ies!

Sounds better and simple to implement. Also saver. fixed bias methods are not really recommended for tubes like the 6HS5 / 6HV5A. Regular cathode bias allows the tubes to settle themselves.<br /><br />Best regards ...

Very helpful for this fellow DIY-er to see your process from start to finish. <br /><br />What are your findings with other bias options for the 6HV5A? For example, a cathode battery, LED, or grid battery? Your approach is very thoughtful so I would love to get your take on this.<br /><br />Thanks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510292460566239318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098337119765190876.post-38758327375884283852011-03-27T13:44:17.791+02:002011-03-27T13:44:17.791+02:00SUPERB, Thomas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...SUPERB, Thomas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!twogoodearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878028720077565858noreply@blogger.com
