[R-390] revelation and the diode load ...

[Mike Castellana]

Finally got around to checking out audio off diode
load... I can't believe the improvement. 

Going from 390A (w/ resistor/capacitor) into a
Macintosh MC-40 into a single Dynaco A25 (Only had
one, knew I'd need it eventually); Working the radio
is SO much more pleasureable. 

Inteligibility has been improved greatly. Bass
response is out of the ballpark and high end has been
tamed... Distinctions between selectivity settings
have become more useful. And of course ... when a
signal is booming in opening radio to 16kc is a ball.

Is it a good idea to remove V603 and V604 if I
continue to use an outboard amp? Seems like radio
might run cooler.

Regards,
Mike
