The Mic sounds wonderful!

Be sure to connect the shield from the cable on both ends to the PSU star ground and to the mic ground.  I had noise in some places and not in others until I did that. Thanks everyone now to finish my second one.

Oh, anyone find good wood boxes that hold Skylars bodies?

Hi guys,
I 'm having an issue with my mics ( all of them )
the mics can work fine for hours or days, and suddenly that nois :

any idea of what it can be ?

Yes, sounds like bad tubes. I had this as well and had to swap a couple of times before I found a quiet pair. Let the tubes burn in at least 24 hours.
Also check for microphonics, one tube gave an audiable "ping" when I turned the mike over.

 
Answerd on PM, as i don't want th support thread to be a selling place.
These boards were ordered because some were asking for them, and the spares i have are according to what Ioaudio still sells.
I was just making a call for who could be interested "as future kit buyers" and if these can help their builds.
 
Hi all - I just got Dan @ Collective Case's excellent PSU case and ordered the PCB from Tony (zayance).  Does anyone have recommendations on a PT which is suitable for both 115/230V?
 
The Antek AN-05T200 is a good choice

It works on 115/230 and has a 200V sec as well as (2) 6.3V sec (for a nice fender jewel lamp etc).

Hey guys,
I just received my 4 tubes that I bought them on ebay but they all have 9 pins :(  2x EF86= 9 Pins and 2xPF86 = Pins
so what the next step?  I am missing something with these Tubes?
Thanks for any advice!
Cheers
 
Wrong tubes for the MK47, they would suit the MK7 on othe other side! ;o)

For MK47 you should look fore these: http://www.ebay.de/itm/6028-408A-Philips-ECG-USA-Tube-Lot-of-10-Pcs-/380384374928?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Valves_Vacuum_Tubes&hash=item5890acf090
 
Hey Sredna,
Thanks for the link! I get 10 pcs from your link and I don't know what I will do with the "EF86" tubes :) :) :)
cheers
