I got EXCITED about the wrong amp! | Rift Q&A and Midweek Update |

- PLEASE NOTE: This is not a tech channel, but simply a show-and-tell. It is not designed to give advice and support on vacuum tube amplifiers but to show what I get up to each week in the workshop.
I deliberately keep tech talk to a minimum, or at least to a point where it’s understandable to the casual viewer. There are other channels more suited to that level of detail.
I do not do reviews, either paid or unpaid. My opinions are entirely my own and do not represent those of others.
All comments are welcome but those deemed unhelpful, rude, inappropriate, or unsavoury will be reviewed and possibly censored.

Race cars and amps! Uk uncle Doug ! Love the vids. Thanks for sharing knowledge
Thanks for taking the time to answer my standby switch question. I’d already watched three different UA-cam videos on the subject and got 3 different answers. As for looking at forums, boy are some of the users “passionate” on the subject 😀
I never realised that the standby switch was such a hot topic!
Now I'm unsure whether to use mine or not?! 🤔😂
Wow, that WEM amp has chime...........
Ahhhh! The WEM Dominator: the sound of my first “bedroom” band in the early 70s.
could you explain and/or show how you mark and drill out the power transformer holes on the chassis. just wondering whats involved in doing that compared to the valve sockets that are round. I'd imagine getting nice straight lines requires a different set of tools to do the job cleanly?
Follow-on questiopn form the can-cap discussion: why use a, presumably, relatively expensive multi-section, can cap rather than single caps?
Awesome lovel me some tech talk, Thanks Chris!
2nd Question - for a Wednesday Q&A - What are the pros & cons of using a variac/rheostat on an amp, thinking of cathode stripping and other "stuff", thanks.
Great stuff, love your channel.
Great video….what are the film caps you are using in the ‘57 reissue ltd edition..? They look like Panasonic film caps..?
Yes, they are Panasonics. My favourite!
@@RiftAmps My favorite too…cheers..!
