    Hard to walk away sometimes but ultimately was the best decision
    You made a sensible decision Dan. They might have been fine, but would probably need work and that could potentially cost a packet.

    The Bereford Caiman DAC is on my techs bench being adapted for the Paul Hynes SR4 power supply

    The Supratek needs to go back to be put on the Oscilloscope and replacement valves fitted

    Default Caiman DAC

    Beresford Caiman DAC with a Modded Paul Hynes SR4 Power Supply adapted to be used with the Beresford 😁😁🤪🤪🤪😎😎

    The original PSU was put on the scope noisy and nasty when we put the SR4 on clean sine wave

    Dodgy cap, poor connection somewhere, dry soldered joint?

    What resistance are you trying to measure on the valves Dan?

    The only resistance that is measurable is the heaters, they are low resistance when cold.
    I have just measured a 12V signal valve heater at 2.7 ohms, cold.
    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan
