Yow the DC30 is ugly inside.
The Cornford carrera looks FANTASTICally neat!
Even though those resistors are grid stopppers, you could use that idea for your amp. I remember you had cathode resistors off board. One idea is to run a bus from the centre pin of your sockets that the cathodes can ground to. Plus it will add shielding for pin to pin on the socket itself.MikeM wrote: BenjiTone, very neat stuff.
I'm still trying to find a good solution for grounding my preamp cathodes... Atm I am thinking of something similar to this..
Or running a little bus off the side of my turretboard.. Hrrmmmmm
On the 9pin socket, there is normally a "10th" pin in the centre. If the bus bar (wire) is connected to this 10th pin, it acts as a shielding between these pins. You could do a bus from socket to socket or just the first sensitive stage and then across chassis near to where the mains earth is. Hope I explained it better.MikeM wrote: I can't really figure out what you're trying to explain BTDiagram perhaps?
