@ davey
well your are correct,, the roll to a 150, although Jadis does list a few amps which can accept the 150,, this Defy is ,, maybe cerca 2000, so not built fora 150,,my bad,, now i consult with my tech guy on any mods.
btw each tube has a fuse,,so a fuse will blow pre any damage to the huge beefy trans.
@ reprince,,
I'm sure Jadis placed the finest parts made at that time in their amps, These M caps are designed , 2012, they add to the separation of fq's, boost clarity, I think there is more to be gained from the new cas, which is why i am going back to the Svetlana 6550's,,which vivatubes says are identical to the Svetlana 6550's which came with the amp.
I sold those off last year for 250/NOS and bought the new release for close to 500, not a good move,,, I did not even hear the NOS,, just assumed that I loved the kt90 EI in the JOR so much, that I figured the kt90 was my tube sound. .. sold off the 90's at half price also, new tubes.
,,so yeah, davey is right,, i need to slow down rethink all mods,, randy has been a big help now on whicch mods to go with
Right now as i wait on 6550's to come in,, he is chaging all----maybe not the 4 big electrolytics,, can't recall if we are holding on those, as each is $125-- need to write him today,, see what we are going with.
So all other smaller electrolytics are be chamed to either Nichicon or F&T's, can't recall which lab we decided on.
Randy changed the electrolytics in his Golden Tube to Nichicon's and noted a nice sonic gain .
The power electrolytics are going on 20 yrs now, best to change out.
Thats all i am doing,, not making any mods on the design of the amp, = post mods will be a Jadis amp. , same characteristics.
I plan to buy a meter and Randy will show me how to bias.
Will post a vid once everything is up N running.
