Haven't I seen this at your house before.......minus a few tricks?

Do you still have enough quiet 5842 tubes to do this?

Where are you getting your grid chokes from?

This one's going to be mono-blocks, right?

Never saw a 100H choke.

Magnequest has a 100H/20mA choke, which I bet is what Roscoe is using.

A proper boat anchor builder would line up 10 Hammond 193M inductors. 10H 300 mh 63 ohms and a respectable 10.5 lb each.

Speaking of projects in the que -- did you ever build the tape-drive pre-amp you talked about? If you did -- how did it work out as compared to the stock electronics?

Pretty much. The regulated driver supply is a new twist...

Yes. I also have >150 8532s, which could also work great with a bit more inductance in the plate choke. Might need to get Dave Slagle to wind me a pair if I go that route.

They're plate chokes, Magenequest. Been in and out of the stereo 845 amp for quite some time...

Absolutely. I'm getting too old to schlep around a stereo 845 amp any more ;)

Nobody's ever accused me of being proper ;)

Not yet. I did pick up a pair of late 60s Ampex solid state electronics, but haven't done anything with those yet either...
