Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
I just received a used CPT 300 and put it on my music server/computer. Just outstanding is all I can say. Everything folks have already said. I then did the modifications I have already outlined but kept the power cable stock. I did not change the...

I wonder the very same thing. Thanks Charles.

Ok Charles how did the DIs sound? You must know we want your impressions as this is a DI thread and your experience with them will be helpful. Thanks.  🙂 
Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music?
Very interesting how the type music and wine or other drink choice have synergy.

Yes film bypass is a great idea Kenny.  
Duelund DCA16GA
The oil is dried up and wax like. It coats the wire making for a less direct connection. That’s all.

Great build Kenny. Tremendous pricing also. Those  magical Duelund silver foil bypass caps in the coupling positions would do wonders with the fine Audyn caps. You know that already. I think he uses electrolytic caps in the power supply? Anyway to...

Yes indeed I have always preferred solid core to stranded in the past  Howeve,  Duelund changed all that with this new wire. Just clean the rubbing alcohol. That is fine. I used a lint free cloth.

I have a CPT 300 coming in Wednesday.  Used one.  I will mod it exactly like the 150, but not put a Furuteck cable on it just yet. Want to see how much of the improvement is due to the cable vs. the other mods.

Kenny, please let us know where you end up on the tube amp build. I would love to build a 2a3 amp just the way you are going about it. I would choose the same 6sn7 and SS rectification. Now I just need speakers that mate well with the 3 watts! Tha...

Kenny, it is a new sound for you after a bit of time off from 2a3’s. If you were to listen to the 2a3 only for say two years and then pop in a more powerful OTL etc.., then you would be equally pleased and excited about what that new sonic flavor ...

Kenny, you are on top of it! Where is the builder located?

Electra-Print trannys are great! Can get pricy. Perhaps you can find James transformers on EBay or elsewhere? They no longer make them, but they can be found. They are wonderful for the money.

Thanks for the link to the tube amp site Kenny. Does he build point to point or with circuit boards? Like the amps and prices. Not a fan of circuit boards in tube amps and thus my question. His amps remind me of Dennis Had’s amps. Dennis builds hi...
