Hello Andy!!! Nice to read you! Hope life is treating you well! How are your OR120 and R30? Still keeping you entertained? Doing okay thanks. Those guys aren't getting used as much as I'd like I'm afraid. Mainly carting lightweight bass gear, having to watch the old back. Still love the Orange gear...

At the start I believe they were shipped with EH 6AC7, then JJ EL34. I've had JJ EL34 and Tung Sol EL34 in mine, both ace. Thanks, would they have come with matching brand preamp tubes? Mine came with the EH 6CA7 power valves, but JJ preamps. (2006 amp from memory.) Mixing and matching brands is fi...

Here's a good discussion of mismatching impedance by one of the forum experts:

Wow, old post! Still, the way valve amps work hasn't changed so much in the meantime...

Andy.

Can you maybe re-wire that cable? If not (because of sealed plugs say) then I'd chuck it, cutting the ends off to make sure it can't do any harm elsewhere.

Nothing to do with music but... Sad day for me, and many others. Another of the really great characters has gone. Sir Terry Pratchett wrote many of the books I've enjoyed most, especially his Discworld series. They were both clever and huge fun. I loved his ideas and way with words. Posting here as ...

Aha, just managed to vote as 'old me'. Interesting. Went for black too, I've always liked black Oranges. (Was so tempted by a black R.30C in a shop here for a long time. Glad it eventually sold...)

Hello, goodbye!


Andy.

Yeah, that!

Always good to have a couple of spares!

We apparently agree!


Andy.

I've been very good and not (double) voted! :lol: If I had done the R.30 and OR(120) would have had an extra vote each of course. I'm not surprised to see the Terrors (now 21%) starting to grab a lead as they must be selling well and are relatively 'affordable' models. Pleased but not really surpris...

Boo hoo, sniff, sniff...!

I've still got my FREE t-shirt!


Andy.

Yeah, better just point out that Mr. 3 posts 'andyh' really isn't the same guy as Mr. 10K3 posts 'Andy H.'!

Might just be a case of someone reconsidering their handle???

(Would probably be appreciated by a few folks here as things could get well confusing!)


Andy.

+1 again!


Andy.

Some power supplies will be 'center negative' others 'center negative'. i think he means "centre negative" or "centre positive". Correct, I think he probably does. That would be the European spelling. According to my tattered old wordy book he was using the US spelling - most careless! :roll: Andy....

Bar owners can be real *******s sometimes. But then where would we be without them. There'd be a lot less gigs and a lot less beer threads here...

(Guess that - officially - ticks up 10K posts for me then. Though in reality it has been a few more... )
