Looks very good. Any idea of it's weight? I recently sold a Honda VFR750
partly because I didn't like it's 220Kg. I still hanker after my 81 Ducati 900SS
which if I remember correctly was 180Kg.

I had completely forgotten until the other day that some time ago I snagged one of the loudspeaker cables with my food jolting the amp forward a few inches on the shelf. I didn't notice any noises until weeks later or else I would have connected the events. I've just ordered a new valve. Although it...

I emailed HotRox who I bought the valves off six months ago. There was no reply at all so I called them today. My initial joy at being offered a replacement was soon dampened when I was told the guarantee is a mere 90 days.
What are my consumer rights? This seems unreasonable to me.

It's a mystery. Also puzzling to me that I can get this crackling or for that matter any output to the speaker when the o/p stage B+ is still switched off. I normally switch this on after the heaters have
been on a minute or so.

Re: EH Gold 300B crackle

I've noticed that when I turn on my Border Patrol SE300B amp (heaters+signal HT +neg 90V bias) I get some brief bursts of crackling from one of the o/p valves. The other valve is quiet and crackle moves with the valve when swap the two over. So far I haven't heard any crackle after the HT (to o/p s...

Hi Andrew. I am rather late reading up on your DHT supply project having only recently acquired a SE300b amp. Do you have a couple of PCBs left please? The amp uses one 300b per channel.
