    Thank you. Still fun modding them. I like the Daytons so much, I still haven't felt inspired to reinstall the RD0198's.

    I am curious, since I didn't put a resistor in place of the fuse/polyswitch, what difference it would make.

    Dud you add a resistor?

    I might order a pair, so I can play with it when I have the 194 to futz around with.

    My oldest was repeatedly surprised at how nice the 5(B) sounds, how good the highs are on songs like Bubbles, and how good they image. So far, Daytons > Wuhans > SL2000.

    My 5Bs had a polyswitch. I jumpered it, no resistor.
    My 8TLs did not come with a polyswitch.
    Polyswitches are for those running Crown amps with unrealistic expectations. The only good sounding 194's I've heard have billet adapter plates and back-chambered with lamb's wool.
    Pull the foam plug from the Daytons and add lamb's wool. Crank away.
