Thanks for all the good advice on my line-cord question.
I shall follow through with the changes and the additional caps.
I've got the unit running right now in the next room with a tape from when I
was much, much younger.
Sounds good! I've got it hooked to a single, old-but-good speaker, the
Tannoy Cheviot.
The amp is rated at 50 watts, with four 6L6Gs in parallel, mono of course. A
stamp on the chassis says it was manufactured in 1945. Sounds like more
than 50 watts.
Why does a tube amp (to me) sound so much quicker and cleaner than SS amps?
Seems to have more dynamic range, too.
Once again, thanks!
