Hi guys, I posted new pics in the 'Class 5 pics and version 2' thread. It didnt update the last post date though.

For the support bars, I used 10mm stainless bar which I cut and drilled and tapped a M4 x 12mm deep hole each side. For the screws I have access to a machine shop so turned the heads down. They dont really interfere with the chassis mounting, it's probably not as flush as when it was orginally fitte...

Hi Tone, have a look at the thread 'Class 5 Fix & Version 2.0 ', page 5, I posted some of the fixes I carried out. The Class 5 is a superb amp and for the money cannot be beat IMO. I think a lot is said on here that is far fetched to say the least, but I understand some people are pissed off. I'm su...

Hi, cool looking back mod with the Dr Z, can you tell me how you wired that in? i'm assuming that the twi speakers lead coming out of the Chassis with spades that normally goto the speaker, have had a 1/4" plug attached instead and goes to the input and the output lead from the Dr Z has the spade co...

Thanks man, the bars did help a lot in making the Chassis stronger and more rigid. Just waiting on the new rear panel now, from what i've read it makes it sound better!!!!
Also thinking about different tubes. Maybe a Mullard EL84 and the TAD 12Ax7.

Hi guys, Some interesting thoughts and debates happening on here at the moment re the C5!!!!. Personally for what it's worth, I love the C5, Yes mine rattled which I mentioned before. I did a few mods which I've posted here and all is well!!!!! Using no amp stand either. Waiting for the new 3 piece ...

Thanks for posting the pic. This must be the standard now from the factory. I have a new panel on order (I'm in Canada). Once it's fitted I am going to do an AB test as a friend of mine has a C5 also (with no rattle issues really at the moment). It's got to be to relieve some of the air pressure wit...

Thanks for the response. I'm actually from England (Sheffield) living in Canada now. My local music shop has the new rear panel on order for me. Any chance you can post a pic of yours of the rear? I'm sure this is why you've had no rear rattle problems. The whole problem seems to be the original bac...

Hey Lescaster, Very NICE white C5!!!!! Where did you get that, where are you located. I got a green here in Canada. Had all the 'rattle' issues, which I've worked on and have improved a lot (I've got pictures to post). Does yours have the new rear panel that Marshall are supposed to be supplying?. A...

Hi, new to the forum. Been reading for a long time and gained a lot of info. I have a green C5 which started with bad rattles. I've done quite a bit of work (including the .PDF document - which didnt do much i must say). I'll post some photos over the next couple of days. It's getting better let me ...
