Follow you, follow me: i bought those very same dsi oc81d that you have like one year ago, never got around to make the build, the other day i fired the pro mk ii thread you posted, and right now i am building a mk ii with those dsi's into a WHITE PIgeon FX MK I enclosure. Good grief.DrNomis wrote:I've already built a good sounding Mk II with some OC81Ds......
Party party, party party, party party
When I first got my set of 5 DSI OC81D transistors in the post I tested them using my Semiconductor Analyzer, at first I was a little disappointed to find that they all had low Hfe readings and I honestly thought they wouldn't work in the Mk II circuit, but I decided to keep an open mind about them and try breadboarding the Mk II circuit so I could evaluate the performance of the DSI OC81D transistors, I was so surprised that they not only worked but also sounded good that I ended up starting that thread in the workbench so that anyone else who bought some of those DSI OC81D transistors would get some benefit from my experiences with them and maybe give them a go in their builds, also I wanted to show that these DSI OC81D transistors were a viable alternative to the hard to get, and expensive when you can find them, silver metal-can OC81D transistors, personally, I am happy with the tone I get from my Mk II build with the DSI OC 81D transistors, I compared it to some demos I found on youtube, and to my ears the tone sounds alot like the demos, but more to the point, my build seems to sound alot smoother/less blatty, maybe the low Hfe of the transistors may have something to do with it, I don't know, but it works for me anyway......
