it doesn’t create diylc3 automatically, extracts everything wherever you extracted the archive. You can create a folder named like that and extract the archive there

Hello Bancika,

I tried to change the directory to diylc3 and terminal said “no such directory” I unpacked the archive and terminal did not find it. Can you please tell me if I am doing something wrong?

Thanks!

It’s clean-ish but still not super clean. It’s got 6 gain stages

Resistors are 1/2 except for plate resistors which are 2W. Coupling caps are mostly papar in oil but the original uses film caps (orange drops or mallory, don’t remember). You can use any film or paper caps as long as they are rated at least 400V. Mica caps are used for values less than 1nF.
