Tekton Double Impacts
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.  
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
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 ...

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... 
Incredible deal on incredible amp
Or do what I said early on. I have done it and I have sold a ton of gear over the past 15 years.

Well, you don’t know, I don’t know, but the happy owners know.  You must buy and try.  Simple stuff here.

Yes, twist every 1.5-2 inches and use a short piece of shrink tubing every 2.5-3 feet to hold the twist. Use bare wire for hook up. Be sure to clean the stripped ends as they will have some dried oil residue from the oil impregnated cotton.
