- I realised that when I hurredly drew up the circuits recently posted my
- memory did not work very well. The supply volts for the Cohen amp I
- modified for CD use measures 427V and the supply for the Guls amp is 310V
- for the 12AX7 and 12AT7 versions and 350V for the 12AU7 version (with 1K5
- cathode resistors). Worse still I had the output from the lower plate not
- the upper cathode (correct). Below are the corrected versions:

- Sorry about the errors. If anyone wants to make one of these there are
- other considerations like a floating heater supply so that the max heater
- to cathode voltage is not exceeded for either triode. The cohen amp uses
- cascaded RC filters for the supply whereas the Guls amp has an IC regulator
- (but valve rectification) followed by RCs. The Guls amp also has a slow
- heater turn on over 30secs after which the high voltage comes on and after
- the amp has settled an output relay is closed (at 1 min)
