I am gathering parts for my bloo kit and have a few questions.
Keep in mind I'm kinda new :)

-What brand of tubes are your favorites?
-Do the 12a's need to be matched?
-What is the general value for caps when there is a decimal in front
i.e. .02, .001 etc... nano, micro?
-The caps that are 40/450V are a 40pf right?

Thanks for the info
Caine

BTW...the bloo kits are superb!
 
feel free to email me with questions...

IMHO brands of tubes arent very critical with this compressor... I picked up a pair of telefunken smooth plates and couldnt hear a difference...

no matching is necessary

all caps are microfarad unless noted in pico

the 40/450 are microfarad... you need a pair of 40's or you can use 47 with no problem

same thing with the 30's you can use 33microfarad/450's if you cant find 30's... these are used on the power supply... those two 5 lug tag strips are what they will attach too...

also 500v works just fine.... If I can recall I put 47Uf/500 and 33Uf/500's in mine

Peace!
