    Still dabbling in this hobby…

    I don’t post much around these parts. But I still lurk a lot and comment on topics I’m comfortable with. I’m at a crossroad where I’ve been stuck for a bit sonically.

    Diy Interconnects...

    Just spent some time making these.Canare L-2t2s, and what they say is real wbt -0144 from that one site. I've made a few others with neutrik rean nys373, and I like the neutriks better. Easier to work with if you have fat fingers.

    2008 Ford Taurus Limited

    Paid for it in full. Used of course, but I have excellent bartering skills. Hopefully it turns out to be a good car. Got tired of a sports car, went to a sort of luxury car.

    Adding se opt transformer to a amplfier with different circuit..

    Is it possible to add two se opt transformers to this amplifier? I'm not too familiar with this circuit tis the reason I ask. I think I can leave the front end alone (12ax7) , and add to it. I know it may seem like a basic mod, but I'm not that talented yet. Wish I could go push pull with it...
