| Thoughts about buying a Bedini 100 I had a Bedini 100/100 and wish I still did. While you would never mistake it for a tube amp, it’s a great sounding solid state amp with the tightest bass you’ll ever hear. | |

| I am restoring a Stromberg AU-42 - 6L6G question You should post this on The audioasylum tube diy forum. You’ll get multiple authoritative responses quickly there.that said, if this is the cathode bias bypass cap, different values will materially affect tone. If it were me, I would not worry abo... | |
| Favorite Lyricists? Robbie Robertson , Neil Young. | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! All of them, except for double lp's where I don't have enough time to finish. | |
| What have you found to be a good classic Jazz online station? I like iHeart Radio Vinyl Jazz. | |
| Cool running amplifier ok, there's no DSP, just crossover and bridging modes. I had already bypassed all of that.One thing I did do is tune the gain controls (which I originally assumed were attenuaters) which helped a little. I'm very, pleasantly surprised by this litt... | |

| Cool running amplifier @imhififan excellent. I have one on order, will give it a try. Thanks | |
| Cool running amplifier thanks everyone for the input. Let me add some clarification too:The compartment that holds the power amp is ~24"h x 22"d,x 20"w. The amp sits on a shelf in the center and there is ventilation under and over. The back side of the compartment is op... | |
| Grounding my Silvertone Jea48 - if that’s indeed the correct manual (I saw your earlier comment that you aren’t sure), you’re right . . . , and indeed even if it’s not, my assumption isn’t necessarily correct. It’s easy enough to tell by opening it up and checking. The ... | |
| Grounding my Silvertone I should have added, if you're handy with electrical stuff, you can do it yourself for ~$30-50 and 30 minutes of time . . . |
