Mods to 5E3 kinda cool!

[Rick]

I did a few mods to my last remaining 5E3 chassis to some effect. I added switchable cutout to the V2 cathode ground bypass elytic (25uF50V) and on the same DPDT switch put NFB through a 56K R to that same point from the cathode on V2. It became more tactile sensitive, cleaner, and a tad richer sounding with both mods switched to take effect as opposed to the original circuit. I would almost say it's more TW sounding, but I know how blasphemous such statements can be, so I won't.
