Hi, ... No real idea, but it simply did. The Amp remained stable without gridstopper while before a gridstopper on the 300B was needed to keep it stable. Later...
The way I read Brian's posting on the gridchoke for Billie was that one half of it (really two chokes in one frame) replaced the gridstopper, the other half of...

Yes, choke is good. I have my 45 SETA grid choked and now it sings even better. In my experience, the improvement is more obviuos than choke load rectifier in...

Hi Brian and all, I pretty much agree with Brian after trying the various options on my Billies, more than once. In autoformer mode there is much ...
