My sylvania 5y3 is within 5 volts of the JJ 5y3. I def don’t have cone cry or anything like that. I’ve tried C10R, C10q, vintage C10N, a weber 10, and an Eminence blue frame Alnico (which sounds the best) like I said the the amp sounds absolutely fine up until 6 or so…[Read more]

I took some voltage readings on the output tube. The book says 340 to 360 vdc on pin 3. im getting 385 vdc. I tried a different rectifier tube ( a new jj 5y3s) Getting the same readings. still getting the horrible distortion above six.
I will keep working on it as I have time. Thanks for…[Read more]
