Thanks.
Decided to revert it back to 4ohm.
Problem I have found is it likely needs a plasma cutter to desolder the speaker terminal :shock:
None of my Soldering irons were man enough for the job.
So going to replace binding posts due to Solder on them and looking a bit messy, - have some nice ...

Ok Just traced back Feedback resistor and its 2.55kOhm which is for 4 Ohm setting. so I either replace resistor for a 3.92k vishay or change the Output Tx wiring link from white/orange to white/yellow. I seem to remember 4ohm is factory and also recommended setting.
Speakers now Kef R7 impedance ...

I do have over 50years as a hobbyist with repairing and rebuilding tube amps and have test kit if needed. best mistake was accidently touching the HT line on a Radford STA60/100 which threw me across the room (lol) note that amp ran nearly 1KV ht.
anyway fuses turned up tonite shipped from RS ...

Thanks. Have schematic. Fuses inside all original.
The Busmann fuses were from china but look the same, so I have a suspicion.
In that it should have blown. Will open one up to have a looksee
Fuses due today. And will use the Variac to power it up gradually

So had a little mishap.
Wanted to change back to my backup GE6550a from the EH KT90 in at the moment.
Let amps settle to set bias when a replacement good tube Red Plated.
Turned amp off quickly.
Last time a GE 6550 Red Plated it took out the Bussman fuse as its designed to do.
This time it didn’t ...

Most of the early Vinyl £10-£30 Highest paid was £45 for the Drum Record on Vinyl.
The later Vinyl TLP26 onwards are £75-£250
So most of my later ones are bought on CD for £10-£20

Just to update I now have the original Sheffield Lab releases no 1 to 24

Posted elsewhre at looking to change current Kef Reference 203
to maybe used Kef Reference R3 but also looksing at used Focal Sopra 2
Will the low 3.1 Ohm resistance be ok with Premiere 12 on 4 ohm setting?

Ah but the WBT 0610 Banana Plugs will be re-saleable at a good price.

Inteseting as my crrent Speakers are KEF Reference 203 and the probable upgrade will be Kef Reference 3.
But I keep coming across Wilson Sasha, Watt Puppy's.
It appear sthey are a good match for CJ gear.

Had to cut the sleeved cable to 3m & 1m
found out it isn't anything exotic. Sommer Meridian 260 cost about 12 Euro per metre. interesting that i blind tested them and kimbers were better.
So will stay with the Kimbers

So using QED XT25 ath the moment, but wanted to see if anything else worked better.
I am of the Doen't really make a differ5nec scholl but feel the cost of Conrad Johnson gear is more deserving of a cable price proprtionate.

So two inexpensive recent purchases
A 4 m pair of sleeved cable for £99 I ...

Is that the ACt 2 that was on UK ebay?

Just received Frank Zappa .Overnite Sensation
Remastered on 2x discs 180g vinyl to play at 45rpm
Remastering from the original analogue tapes.

How does it sound - try it?
To me very 3d sound with all the detail.
Bass is a bit “plummy”
but after disappointing results from some remastered 180g lps ...

Check the Tape output to see if imbalance is there, to isolate probability of the ALPS Volume control bad tracking through age? and isolate problem to input stage or output stage

Hi
I am not far in Northampton. While not qualified, I have restored and repaired Valve amplifiers for 40 years.
If you don't get a better offer let me know.
Also have you checked the fuse and led isn't lit red.

Although you should be able to tell if the Premiere 12 Monoblocks are on, by the soft glow of the tubes, I find it difficult to tell from the sofa.
Has anyone done a power-on indicator light/led modification.
It is likely to be tricky as I wouldn’t want to drill the front panel. I did consider ...

Another 5x discs today.

Updated production list
1 Lincoln Mayoga and Distinguished Colleagues Volume III
2 Thelma Houston & Pressure Cooker `
3 The Kings James Version - Harry James and His Big band
4 Brahms Variations on a Fugue on a theme by Handel; Chopin Mazurka in A Minor
5 Dave Grusin ...

Added some more. Now have first 10x releases plus more. Also picked up a Thelma Houston Pressure Cooker Re-Release no ST200 Be interesting to compare both releases

Since the original post I have gone a bit mental, in looking for, and buying the other early releases,
Price seems good value at around UK £20.
