Reply To: 6/12SN7 pre amp universal build

Work progresses along.
I am using the E80cc build vids that I figure are universal as Charles suggested above.
I am loving the fact that this kit is thought out so that it can be taken apart and repaired or to fix my attempts at making things better that turn out to be steps backwards. For instance yesterday I had the bright idea to make things neater by strapping together wires. One problem, the wires were separate channels. I had an inkling that this may be a boo boo so I emailed Jim and asked about it. I can just see him getting the email and putting palm to forehead and muttering something about knuckle draggers. 🙂 Anyway he graciously confirmed my suspicions that it was not a good idea.
I have just drilled out the 30mm C4 pad to accept both the R6 resistor and the C4 capacitor. I had installed the C4 capacitor into the 18mm pad as it fit really well. One problem, the 18mm pad goes nowhere. Another mistake brought on by trying to be neat. Gotta get over that and pay more attention.
