Charles, I don’t know why many builders don’t use film caps in the power supply? Why they don’t use better internal wiring? Why they use such long signal paths? Why they don’t use breakers? Why many builders think one part sounds the same as another as long as both are in spec and think boutique capacitors/resistors and the like are snake oil? Why do we still use conventional binding posts instead of clamps that clamp the output wires to the speaker cable? Many more audio questions I wonder about in terms of tube gear design.If my memory serves me right and we had a LONG debate, Atmasphere states 95% of his amp and preamp designs are based on specs. Any builder voices their design is incompetent. So I guess cap, wire ... with the same spec will work so probably reason inferior parts are used?

To everyone posting here:I love coffee. I buy most of the coffee from Trader Joe's and settled on French Roast and Italian. I use a burr grinder and French press ... I guess next step is roasting my own coffee ... I'll let you know how it goes :-):-)
Do any of you like coffee? I do. I love really great coffee. Its the only coffee I'll drink.
BTW, the circuit breakers Paul Weitzel uses are all mil-spec. I still have several in my basement. Paul said never seen one failed.
