I using a wallwart 24v rated at 400mA 28v unloaded. I got my own tan cap. It was running smoothly for a few months and suddenly it toast. The voltage across C8 was 24v as i measured. Tread was feeding a PPAv2. The wallwart was modded with the ceramic cap and a muse filter cap

I was running the TREAD on idle... for quite some time. Then, suddenly one day the C8 tan cap toasted. So i change the 317 both tan cap. C7 , c8. Again the C8 toast again. Whats in stall for me?

Yep as what booze have said. Soha is very tube indepentant. Currently I using a cheapo stock tube, just waiting for my RCA cleartop to arrive. Here is some of the variants and most of it make sense Score Tube type Comment 10 AEG ECC82 (Long Plate) This is the best ECC82 I have heard...

I dont think you should be doing 580v when starting

I wanted to build the millet-h in the first place but the non-availibility for parts make it differcult. Which tube are you going to use

I got 2 1 small 1 big. small one for quick and fast action. The big one for some serious sucking. It seem SOHA have problem with hum and buzz if ya orientation is not good.

Maybe it doesnt sound what i wanted it to be... But i nv listern to a tube before. The warmness is there but tube rolling does makes a different. Cause i am using a cheapo $10 ECC82 compare to JJ $35 and mullard $50. Sound may change

SOHA!!

The ones with the single pad single hole or the one with horizontal track all the way?

The one recommended by tangent are too ex to be imported here. Any alternative

Nice job. The only deal i couldnt start a millet is i cant find the tubes here...
