The main thing I'm still confused with right now is the not-included resistor and cap that join tube pin 2 and connects to tube pin 9.
- Ben's instructions mention a 15ohm resistor and 392k cap.
- Ben's message to @johnsonic were 100m resistor and the cap can be anything from 2n to 10.
I've bought a variation of all of the above, and am not sure which route to follow. Functionality first (no fires), then best sound hopefully.
For a cap bridging tube pins in a mic, does the style matter?
I bought a
15ohm 5watt Vishay Mills, 15 ohm
metal film and
carbon film resistors (and another
15ohm 1watt specifically for audio as well).
Not sure if any you should
not use or if it's just a matter of preference of sound. Since this C12 build seems different from the others on this forum, I'm not sure what a similar comparison would be.
