Bjorn	Re: More gain in a BF DR Carl, I was a bit fast responding to your message… Carl: “You said you subbed in a 12AX7 already. What did or didn't you like about that change? “ Well, I think there was more gain but less headroom. Maybe a bit muddier and some PO too – but just a tiny bit. Carl: (my son is named Carl – by the way) “I really doubt that the 470 ohm resistor is 5 watts. Well, these are not carbon comp resistors (I changed them, they seemed to have taken a lot of heat), but I may be wrong on the value – it was some time since I opened the amp . Again – thank you!
