A great Music Electronics Forum thread on power supply capacitors for your amp. I used the balancing resistors on my 64′ Fender amp and it has worked great!
If you have an old Fender amp, most ceramic sockets don’t fit

I have made this mistake several times. I purchase ceramic tube sockets for my amp – you know – “Fender” size. However the older tube amps have the hole cut smaller. They don’t fit.

Eminence Speakers… very good
Posted by aron on 14 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Amp/Tubes
I was amazed at the tone my friend got with his very good Carr Amp. I loved the detailed midrange of the amp. Unfortunately I couldn’t connect my Bassman to his speaker easily, so I took a chance and purchased an Eminence speaker that someone from the forum was selling. On paper, the speaker response of the different models look very close. The main differences being the bass and midrange response.
The Legend speaker I got did remind me of the tone of the Wizard – much better midrange than what I am used to getting with my Celestion Greenbacks. It brought out the nice midrange of my guitar, without any of the harsher tones. Based on this, I wouldn’t hesitate to try a Wizard speaker, even though it’s a brighter speaker. So far I am sold on Eminence speakers…. Very good!
