This is a question for the die hard 5e3 Deluxe builders. I have seen the die heart amp builders that go over board to have every component to original specs. Then I see some u-build kits and other amp builders who tweek their amps. Like upping values on components to compensate for today's voltage at what 120v ? It is higher now than it was in the 50.s So the values on the components will be different with higher voltage or what?
What is the best choice between stock or moded? Should the filter caps in the 5e3 stay at 16uf 450v or 20uf 500v? How about 22uF.
Then I have read some threads and talk about changing the cathode resister and bypass cap for the 6v6 pin 8 to different values.
I have read some with 5 watt 270ohm resister with a bypass cap 25uf 50v. I have read about some 400 ohms 10 watt 22uf. What about 300 ohm 5 watt.?
Well witch one is right here? What are your opinion.s
