I realize that the main activity for this post is well behind us, but also wanted to say a big thank you to all who have participated and contributed such dense and valuable information.
I have a couple of thoughts/ideas to throw out and will hope that some of the main contributors are still following this:
I know Bill prefers the SS rectification, but has anyone tried or thought about a well designed external power supply with tube rectification for an Orchid? I don’t think Dan probably has time or interest, but thought about asking him about an external PS for the Orchid… (I’m also curious if anyone has compared a Modwright Elyse with a modded Orchid..?)
Also, are there any mods/adjustments that would better support use of an adapter 6SN7 in a modded Orchid? Has anyone pondered a transformer upgrade both for different tube rolling options, but for improvements in general? Seems like the core circuitry continues to impress and could be worthy of more significant changes, whether external PS, transformer, or maybe other things..
Thanks in advance for humoring some more ideas.
PS: I’ll be in touch soon Bill. We’ve talked before and I fully anticipate doing a mod package with you.
