Casey4s	Re: tube bass amps part 2 Dan, Yes, the Sprague orange drops are rated at 600v and are fine for all the non elecrolytic applications in this amp. All the non marked resistors are 1/2w but I usually use 1w & 2w in the power section unless a bigger one is called for. There is one 1k 10 watter in that schematic, all the resistors in the bias circuit I like to use 1w or 2w. The pots are standard fare, CTS is the best for the money, Mouser pots are OK, and Alpha pots are on the bottom of the quality pile. (IMHO) Wire, personally I use 18 gauge stranded cloth covered, or solid core pushback. This is just my opinion on these items... Casey4s
