  • Tweaking new 5e3 build

    I have the 5e3 up and going. thanks for your help. I emailed triode and Chad emailed me correct layout for the transformer.
    I am learning so I just wanted someone to view the voltage readings and tell me if they look correct. The amp is very clean and
    at low volumes sounds good, however when driven is does not have a good breakup sound just kinda muddy. I am using a weber signature series
    similar to the current 12s ceramic speaker.
    Here are the voltage readings
    v1
    pins
    1-121
    2-0
    3-2v
    6-120v
    7-0
    8-2v
    v2
    1-155
    2-0
    3-132
    6-197
    7-170
    8-45
    b+ 373 volts
    Using jj 5y3 gt eh 12ay7 v1 tung sol 12ax7 v2
    thanks

    Hi,
    Just recently joined this forum.
    I posted a similar issue with a kit, also from triode.
    Mine is just too clean, no distortion.

    Have you come to any conclusions so far?
