Besides the great sound, some of the things that I like about the Quickie would be that it has a pretty simple design and low parts count.
Those features helps me understand what each individual component contributes.
My next modification is to install transformer volume controls. What is the function of the 220 ohm carbon comp. resistors before the volume pots (also, they are not ahown on the schematic) and can they be eliminated when the TVC's are put in place?
And what about the 470K metal film resistor to ground on the output, can that go too?
If not, would changing it out for something else have a positive efffect on the sound?
Any other changes that come to mind for improving the Quickie? I have the chokes in place, as well as NOS tubes and Auracaps on the outputs... after the TVC transplant I want to install everything in a new case to match my other components.
As always, suggestions are not only welcomed but encouraged. Thanks, K.
