Dc for power supply
Another point i also notice.   Not all 12dc car battey are the same, i strongly recommend Odyssey battery at least 80-175ah.   Even the new technology Lithium or even the lithium polymer, the sounds has no dynamics.  In audio, i strongly prefer ju... 
Dc for power supply
Noromance: try using a higher ah.  Your ah is too low, you need at least 12v 68-150ah ( car battery). No need to worry about ah if you have a regulator that can do dc-dc drop.    
Amps will not hold bias.
If you are for sure that your tubes are not bad and the socket which holds these tubes are check and inpected then your answer would be:There could be two things. 1) Your bias pot are going bad. Clean and do measurement on both channel.  See if yo...

Duelund 16g Speaker Wire Question
The Duelund hook up cables are nice and for the money it's hard to beat.  I personally prefer the 12ga in my set up.  The 16ga is nice but less of a fulller sound, the 12ga give you a meatier well rounded.   
Bridge Rectifier for the heater 300b tube amp
George... would it be better to custom your own bridge rectifier using 4 diodes?   Besides the fact that a bridge is more convenient and easy to install ( less of a hassle) a custom bridge will give you more reliability and better performance?  If... 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
Jonasan.... if you are after musicality, go for the Dynastation Dynavox mk3, if you are into 24/192 & Sacd, get the new Ayon Sacd player.    The Dynastation Mk3 IMHO outperform 40k LP Set up.   Do a search and you be shock that it ranks one of...

Duelund hook up wires in a Sonus Faber Cremonas speakers??
Grannyring... on main speaker cables, each channel single run of the 16ga stranded tinned copper or you recommend 3 runs per channel.  I need 12ft long from amp to speaker.  What is your suggestion??  
Phono preamp question
