Man, I am seriously amazed at how quickly you've gotten all this done!! Kudos.
Really good work, Martin!
Those numbers look very healthy and you'll probably have decades of enjoyment from your 800C.
I'll get on my soapbox for a minute and no offence to you Martin or anybody... I see so many get Fisher and other tube amps and they buy the Metalbone kit to do just the coupling caps and a few resistors thinking it's going to sing like new. Instead of 'It's the Economy, stupid' there should be a saying in tube gear 'It's the Power Supply, stupid'. That should be the first thing anyone rebuilds. I don't mean to sound like an expert b/c I'm learning just like most here, however, after a several rebuilds, I do the PS first after that everything else seems easy. Sorry for the rant but I see it so much.
Pssst...you guys wanna see some pictures?
Tube...
I have nothing to compare them to. But I do like the way 800c sounds at the moment.
But I promise if you send me some russian pio's, I'll put them in and get back to you with a full report. :thmbsp:
Gee whiz guys...my unit is less than a week finished and you have me thinking mods. You guys are brutal!
I've been told that junkies get addicted to the ritual and needle prick as much as the dope...hmmmm? :scratch2:
