St 70 on the job
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2005 8:49 pm
Hi; I posted some time back looking for info on bias settings for my ST 70 with Shannons board. I was having some trouble getting it to bias properly. Not no more; it is all better now and let me say it sounds ...great. I am playing it through my Altec Valencias, does it get any better than this?
That being said; I wonder can anyone tell me if I should install another pair of bias pots; one for each EL 34?
Also there was a post concerning using 12bh7 in place of the 12au7's; is anyone doing this; because I have some NOS 12bh7's I could try providing it doesn't fry the power trans. However I think I saw some changes suggested if you want to use them.
Also; to Shannon and E.W. and Terry and Thermion; thanks guys, I could never afford to hear music this good in my home if it wasn't for these kits and the help you guys provide. I Have the BB and ST 70 and next up is the Eikes. BTW; what are all you guys using for pre-amps with these amps if I may ask?
