Chris/CMW amps	Re: Drifting components Hi Haakon I do prefer MercuryMagnetics OTs but they're not "cheap". Be sure to use new/fresh e-cap in the powersupply, a B+ from around 370 Volts. If you still have too much low-end after that you can change: - couplingcaps to 0.047 or lower - bypasscaps to 4u7 or lower - sperate the 1st cathodes by using 2 x 1k5//<4u7 Hope this helps/greetings from the Netherlands!

Hi Haakon
