Well I went with the SIO caps. If you don't count the big 10uf cap. With everything I'm at about 600.00 for a tubed pre not counting my time. If this goes well I will try some other projects. I still have the ESL meter to do and Lee's TT when the screws get here. Going to check that I have all the resistors in the right place today. I'm going with 16 awg silver plated wire for my hook-up wires. The IEC that comes with the kit is a filtered one. Steven to me IEC means Interchangeable Electrical Cord. For the RCAs I have a pure silver ground. The RCAs are silver also. I will treat them to keep them from corroding. I would like to go with a Gold Point selector. Maybe by the time I get to it I will be able to afford it. We shall see.

Do you mean PIO? What is SIO? I finally did hear from Roy about the preamp. I'll send a copy of the email to you if you want to hear his response..

 

[speakerman1]

SIO = Silver In Oil.

Yes please send the email. I would like to hear. Did he blame you?

Daily progress? There is no daily progress. LOL I move it from one place to another.

Larry

 

[laatsch55]

well, that's progress. I might even get done with Gibsonians amp today.

 

[speakerman1]

I might do a lot of things today. NOT LOL

Larry

 

[speakerman1]

Well I got the volume attenuator yesterday and the rest of the SIO caps. So I should start to solder. Depends on the weather today. If it rains I will. Here are some pics.

Larry

 

[speakerman1]

Well got all of these tubes done. Gotta start soldering soon. Get ready for the chassis and everything. Thinking about the gains and the selector switch. Hope my money gets here soon so I can do my floor and get all my systems set up. Not going to do anything till after the floor is done.

Any one want to come and help move all of my stuff in the room? LOL Just think of it as a vacation in VA. Still in the 50s here. It has rained for 2 days now.

Larry

 

[laatsch55]
