[caressxofxsteel]

yes.....most women DO have more patients then us guys. one thing ive learned in 21 n a half years haha

That's the way all amps should be made! Hand wired, P2P. Less components = better tone! :)

@JustSomeRandomNewb Good question. Most older point to point wired amps are more susceptible to this RF interference than the newer ones. This is due to the new amps having solid state circuits like integrated circuits. These IC's are low noise and high impedance. They are built to dump noise or block noise. They also do not sound as good as an old tube amp, but that's just my opinion.

@mrbluestrings Ah ok. but then why don't highgain amplifiers have them?

[mrbluestrings]

@JustSomeRandomNewb The shields around the preamp valves are for one reason only. Because the preamp deals with small signals, they are very prone to noise from the external world around the amp, but mostly prone to noise from the power amp tubes bleeding over into the preamp section. This will cause a feedback mostly because they are so close in proximity to each other. Hope this helped.

Is there any reason except for protection that they put steel tubes around the preampvalves? I always thought the heaterfillaments in the tubes look awsome...
