   I am not sure you know what you are doing.   
      
   ** The OP knows - his description is of the entire DC supply circuitry.   
      
       The changes are the rectifier and filter cap values.   
      
   Well, from what he was saying,it looked like he didn't know all that could   
   be known,   
      
   ** What a fucking asinine, out of context, thing to say.   
      
      
   You don't need to do every single thing I usually do to old Quads to get   
   better music from them. The use of a single 180r common cathode Rk is   
   terrible.   
      
   ** Hardly a fair comment seeing as it works so well with the specified   
   output valves ( and most 6L6GCs ) long as they are still in good condition.   
      
   Yes but anyone can build a better amp than the Quad-II,   
      
   ** So fucking what ?
