Mk-IV 1K resistor before the EL-34 pin5.
Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:16 pm
I built a Dynakitparts Mk-IV to power my Ampeg all tube preamp and Ampeg Classic 15" bass cabinet for my bass guitar. (I didn't need a 300 watt Ampeg tube amp in my "cubbyhole music studio".) When I ordered the Mundorf Silver in Oil coupling capacitors the guy at Sonic Craft indicated that I could change the resistors before the EL-34 pin 5 to Takman low tolerance carbon resistors. This, he said would give a noticeable improvement in sound quality.
At the time I didn't do it. I am now considering another Dynakitparts Mk IV for a stereo pair and am considering the change. Should I do this or just use the metal film resistors that I am going to use in the rest of the circuit.
I am looking for the best performance I can get without changing the PCB.
Thanks, Stevedel
