Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...
Al and others. I read the post by Ralph and must share an experience I had just about one month ago. I have a newly purchased 10 watt 845 SET amp that sounded good with a particular power cord I had on the amp. However, I was not prepared for what...

I looked into Elrog, but they seem to have reliability issues? I did not know Jeff used them? I assume he has had no issues. I bet they are wonderful sounding tubes.

Forgot to mention that I have some Psvane WE845 tubes coming based on comments on the net and Jeff here on the Gon.

If jumpers are used, then use bare wire not terminations. All spades, bananas, posts etc... Degrade sound no matter the cost. Better off wiring as the posters picture shows IMHO. Cleaning the wire regularly is also a good idea. I don't use any pos... 
Interesting way to wire speakers…???
Sounds better than oxidized copper however if given the choice...right!?I have found oxidized copper does have a sound degrading result. Simple point.
