Title: Parts used in Ceriatone: Resistors Post by: ampkits on July 05, 2010, 12:41:30 AM "The resistors used on the preamp plates of the Ceriatone OTS amp is the wrong type" Well, Sir, I am sorry that Vishay/Dale only makes the RN65Ds in the cream/beige color these days In the old days, yes, even Corning made RN65Ds. And they came in white, blue, brown, etc colors. They're still RN65Ds. We use the following: a) Carbon Film resistors (mainly 1W even if 1/2 or 1/4W is used in other makes) b) Carbon composition resistors c) RN65D military metal film resistors (in the OTS amps) d) Metal film and oxide (1/2, 1, 2, 3W) e) Ceramic (stone) type 5, 10, 25W f) Dale wirewounds (those black axial 5 and 10W ones) Again, same as others use. What's the deal? Thanks ! Nik Title: Re: Parts used in Ceriatone: Resistors Post by: Toe-Knee on December 11, 2011, 09:59:46 PM Hey Nik,
I'm new to the world of ceriatone but have built a few amps in the past mainly soldano style ones. The RN65D's you mention are extremely great resistors and i now use them for everything require a MF type resistor. I built two personal SLO clones. one using Vishay CCF60 the other with Dale RN65D's the one with Dales turned out to be a lot quieter than the one using CCF60s.

I use almost all the same type in all my builds and all have turned out just fine. |
