Also Ej never ran two cabs on one head ever the stack would just be for show... his top cab had 25 green backs the bottom cab 80watt celestions with 8 ohms. The other two b cabs one for sss one for twins.... The 25s would break up fast the 80s would not... That cello tone your hearing is from the 8...

Which one? The other guy wouldn't stop fiddling with the knobs long enough to find a good tone!

Has anyone else noticed that ANOS preamp tubes tend to have a lower plate voltage for the same dropping string and other R values? It almost doesn't seem to matter which of the old tubes I have that I put in, the voltages are almost always lower than the Tung Sol and JJ tubes. They still sound good...

Maybe change moniker to DE-Structo?

Seriously, you did get lucky. Murphy must have been asleep that day.

I have no trouble keeping the stranded Teflon wire where I put it when lead dressing. Small nylon zip ties can also help when you have a bundle. Yep...I use the zip-ties a lot. That's what helps with the "durability" issue somebody else brought up. As for positioning stranded wire, there are things...

Interesting. What was the idea behind using such large values of resistance just prior to the OD master?

Tell us about your thesis, thyx. Who was your advisor and what university did you attend? Curious... You seem eager to discount everyone else and credit yourself with an education - what was your area of study? I studied at Annapolis, and I do not discount anybody for what they've done in their par...

The links that you have posted thus far demonstrate a lack of understanding of the topic in this thread. Hey...I find the one I posted to pertain directly to the topic that was under discussion at the time...that electrons tend to flow along the outer edges of the single-strand wire. Back-pedal all...

You tell us...depends on what you were studying at the time, I suppose. Maybe do your thesis on the subject and prove the rest of those who believe this to be true wrong? Hey...it could happen.

An honorable attempt...that's how we learn. The best way to know is to try it. I'd consider putting in some kind of a separate "send" control going to the reverb driver (typically a 12AT7 in a BF Fender) from your OD circuit. The levels coming out of your OD circuit will likely overdrive (and distor...

my B.S. meter is pegged. Ditto! A quote from the referred artice: "Stranded wire conductors offer an effective counter-measure to the skin effect. Although a stranded wire is simply a number of smaller solid wires, usually encased together in an insulating or non-conducting material, the greater nu...

I have a degree in physical science...what I speak of is widely accepted in non-audio circles... Which one? I have degrees in applied physics and engineering and my B.S. meter is pegged. That wouldn't be electrical engineering, would it? I think you would have said so if it was. If not, then that a...

Not arguing but aren't you talking about two different things? No. While I understand that pickup wire is insulated, the concept still applies. Are all wires in a strand always in constant contact with each other at all times down the complete length of the wire? Probably not. So the resistance dow...

Sonically though, I'd say solid-core has the edge. Less resistance. Electrons all repel each other, so will want to stay away from each other as much as possible while travelling down a wire. Multiple strands will invariably require, at one point or another, that electrons navigate between strands ...

The reason George L's cable sound "clearer" is that it is a low capacitance cable so it isn't dropping the highs. "The" reason? I would argue, as others successfully have, that there is more going on than simply a low capacitance cable. If that were true, a stranded-core cable of the same capacitan...
