Francene

Post by crgfrench »

I came across Cutthroat Audio on Facebook. I have never seen or heard one, but I liked their "Francene" take on the 18 Watter. It uses 6V6s and a GZ34. Notice the CCs on the preamp side. I don't think Merlin would approve of the heater wiring but other than that, it looks like a nice clean build. Anybody tried one?

I wish my 18 watt build was as neat as that. But at least it has ccs and heater wiring on the floor.

I have done the heater wiring both ways flat and elevated over. Both seem to be fine but is easier to wire elevated and not so easy to be neat.

I'm a little jealous of the awesome pink wire.
