Re: Geloso G.225
The making of a couple of videos are in the pipeline.
The day came when the chassis of this 225 got a splash of paint too. Kind of amazing for a difference it makes after all.
...n i guess this gives you an idea of the whole picture so to say.
That faceplate though..having doubts. Stock as it may be,i feel it would have been nice to have all the pots on a row...call it OCD if you wish.
Out rear i kept most of the "add-ons". Ie;tagshields,output impedance chart and what not.
As i´ve written earlier the idea here was to build a few of them side by side. Seing that i´ve been kind of startled by the differences between them-soundwise i mean.
The 225 is the "youngster" among them with its roots in 1949...the G.60 we believe to be an earlier amp,and this shows in various points.
Weightwise for instance the 225 clocks in at 10+kg while the G.60 is an easy 15kg.
Now..please be advice that a mundane old JMP hoovers between 18-22kg,depending on model and what not. IOW these Gelosos ain´t all that bad after all,albeit heavy being old iron.

Yes, it's only the dirty channel, but DAMN it sounds good!!! 
This is a signature. If you're reading this you've gone past the end of my post.

Thanx.
Yeah. Using a pentode entry tube makes for quite the difference in bandwidth and attack.
Ie;you end up with separation even under heavy loads of distortion.
