 santa gave me a gift, a panasonc THD meter analyser that he had restored,
Henry is owner and general manager of E-gizmo gave me the distortion meter
to use in testing my amps, now i can tweak and at the same time measure.....
thanks again mr santa claus Henry...
he is too shy to show his face on camera directly....
baka raw mamukhaan sya mga kolehiyala friends nya...
the Filipino DIY community is a closely knit group on facebook numbering in the thousands,
they come from Luzon, Visayas and mindanao....still others are in the middle east...
there we congregate and share ideas, sometimes share parts and tools....



eto at bitbit ko na....


even if business is not that good, the spirit of sharing is never lost....
i can not thank enough the guys from Cebu sending me chips and anti static mats...
how do we defend our freedom? by the truth when it is assaulted by Marcos lies....

eagerly sir ton :)

yes, i want to be able to compare, 250volts/60mA bias of the 2A3 with another tube....;)

directly heated versus indirectly heated cathodes, that will be an epic battle...:D
