Re: BTW

Don't know much about them, Vacuum Tube Valley but in one of the searches it led to a Gizmo article praising them. Where they went from there I don't know.

I wonder if in their issue number 17, if they compare their variant 6sn7 circuit to the original fi primer and what differences do they say?

In my search for ingredients that is going to make a set the most inspirational, affecting, emotionaly capable, feeling-esoteric possible, I feel like I have found another major player in the fi circuit or vtv circuit. Like assembling a basketball or baseball team, I got a major player. Here's what I have so far:

1) particular vintage transformers

2) ac on ALL filaments.

2) fi circuit or a variant. I sure like the 6sn7 as a driver in the amp.(I had actually attributed some important characteristics to the opt's when it was the fi primer.)

3) I'm not positive yet, but I believe a middle driver tube like a 26 or 27 also positively enhances the sound. I'm having a 6sn7/26/45 being built and I want to compare it to the 6sn7/27/45.

4) I'm not fully aware of the differences between the 45 and the 300b. The 45 has a remarkable sound, but the 300b seems to have a little more gut. By having the 6sn7/26/45 being built, I can check to see if the 26 is involved in this "gut".

If anyone has any other ideas around this framework, variables that can bring an amp to a higher level of cosmic transport, I 'd like to know.

I know there were some effects in Doug's amp, not really in a feeling way, but in some perceptually unique way that I'd like to find out more about to see if they can be involved.

So I'm proceeding in a deliberate observational fashion based on a foundation that really does it for me.
