Termites prefer hard wood?

Buffer Tweak on all Monicas
One of the highest recommend tweak for all versions of Monica is the JFET buffer tweak. This tweak has been described on this page using 2N3819 JFETs.
Since I finally got the 2SK170s, thought it’ll be beneficial to show how it’s done to your Monica. Note that the tweak on the main site uses 2N3819 and [...]

Geez, I work so Hard to get an email into your Inbox…
On May 20, I sent out this newsletter to my err, newsletter subscribers.
Some “bright” folks don’t treat email marketing seriously and send out conspicuous emails to their customer list, like every other day.

Oh no! I’ve been called a bastard again!
Got this mail one Sunday morning… Names omitted to protect the innocent from the tube mafia.

I assembled a tube amp and speakers in 20 minutes!
The best part of running diyparadise is getting to know all kinds of folks all over the world. Making friends all over the net so to speak!
