Try setting up the "amp next to" your VU meter, instead...

...ONLY because parallax is even a bigger issue if there is no mirror where the graticules reside.
"Sounds" like the HocusPocus or the FengShui effect I used to think I got from the glow of my MC275' tubes, when the lights were turned off.
You have a great eye. It is my C1 which I just recapped per the "Bill D Mod", except for the phono loading caps. To be honest, it was pretty much a waste of time as the old caps were fine best I could tell.
NOT!
Do you mean the original "Bill D Mod" ?
The best answer is 'it depends'.
Yeah that's fair enough. I'd mostly be in it for a kit honestly. Probably like 250$ maybe? Build my own box because I wanna go overboard.
This silicon die shortage is out of control. It's hitting me hard on the video card front. I sold my GTX1080 with the idea in mind to buy a new card and a month later card prices doubled and tripled. Even used cards are outrageously priced. I'm not expensing myself thousands of dollars for a video card. That's madness.Yeah. That's probably next. The original ship date was last month. Then sometime next spring. Then summer. Then "will advise". Then January 2023. I suspect I'll have to call the distributor and give them updated credit card information before the order will ship, assuming it ever will. The card will likely expire before they ship. Oh, well...

I think when all those supply chain issues and silicone die issues really start to affect people will be in 1-2 years when peeps such as yourself can't get stuff and they are basically held hostage to the shortage and we the consumer can't get product.
That's a entirely different ball of wax although the same base issues. I drove past new car lots the other day and saw the lots where sparsely inventoried. The people with good used cars are hanging onto them because things are going to get worse before they get better. Unfortunately my beloved 1977 MG Midget was totaled by a new driver that had a driver's license for 3 weeks and most any car replacing it will probably have lotsa electronics in it. I was reading yesterday that a semiconductor fab facility costs upwards of $60 billion now when before they where about $16 billion. So the article was explaining that there are few peeps that have the capitol, resources and the want to build another fab facility.
All I can think and say is, "What a mess." Something needs to be done to prevent this supply issue from happening again.
