Yes I know the cones are dirty       thank you very much. -forkinthesocket              Finally had a chance to get back, it's been quite a week of keeping FM radio       working in my area (my current day-job)              You will be pleased to know that I have the same Tannoy speakers as you (but       mine are clean!) Funny story as to how I got them, a certain TV station I used       to work for got a package deal for a monitoring station, and it included these       Tannoy speakers.        They would not fit in the space alloted, so I traded them for a set of Optimus       bookshelf speakers (the smallest they made) and we were both lived happily       ever after...              So my line voltage is 120.6 VAC with the same meter.. I put the amp on a       variac and brought the line voltage to 110VAC and got close to the same       measurements as you did. Does the primary transformer have voltage taps?? I       didn't really look hard.               I hope I am not destroying anything by continuing on such high voltages..       power tubes are disposable, they are not anything special, but I don't want to       cook the amp or the preamp tubes.              --JRC              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
