mURI_temp_e4a2b45b.jpgDIY Speaker Cable - Twisted Pair Design6930 viewsThis is DIY Speaker Cable that I made for a friend.
This is the regular twisted pair design with the double shielding. I've used the regular heat shrink tube for the primary shield and nylon braided sleeve for the secondary shield.
The ends are terminated via plastic banana pins.
Here are my DIY Braided Speaker Cables.
DSCF1666~0.JPGTransmission Line for Jordan JX9257218 viewsThe Jordan JX92S fullrange drivers look great in this beautifully made transmission line enclosure. Pat from the Melbourne Audio Club drives them with either a pair of valve monoblocks or other SS amps he owns. These including a Sony vintage VFET power amp preamp combo.
Oatley-Electronics-K295-Tube-Buffer-Kit.jpgOatley Electronics K295 Tube Buffer Kit2880 viewsThe production version of the K295 has been cased in a bitumanised Al lined plastic plastic case. Guitar jack input and outputs are on the rear and large numbered knobs on the front. The blue led indicates "0" position of the attenuators. The preamp can be plugged directly into the mains. Good sounding and simple to build.
There is more information in the K295 stereo JAN6418 tube buffer / preamp kit thread.

DIY-6AS7-Tube-Headphone-Amplifier.jpgDIY 6AS7 Tube Headphone Amplifier4339 viewsMy name is Laurie. I have been building and DIYing for 45 years now and happily will never stop. This tube headphone amp is from a thread in the Form.
The power connecting cable comes from a European Travel Iron I bought for $1.00 at junk shop. (220v/6A) They will be shortened when I find a perch for the amp and me. The sound is better than my ears have ever heard so I will be keeping this one for my retirement entertainment should such a time ever come. Wink It has worked from day one and continues to please me every time it is turned on. The tubes are JJ ECC88 / 6AS7 with a 5V4 rectifier tube. To spite it's small size the parts are quite easily accessed. I over built most components so it will outlast me I fear. The only change I anticipate may be the 6AS7 to a bottle neck glass to match the rectifier tube. I do have and use a 6080 tube, but i can tell no difference in sound. It will take more then a few hours of listening to get my ears better tuned.Feb 28, 2017
4-channel-400W-amplifier.jpg 4 channel, 400 W amplifier3373 viewsThis 4-channel 400 W amplifier uses Hypex UcD400HG modules together with the corresponding power supply.
The whole is mounted inside a Galaxy 330 x 230 x 80 case.
For building instructions, have a look at this project's wiki.
Two such amplifiers has been working for over 2 years in my lounge, driving Linn Komponent 110 loudspeakers which each have 4 speaker inputs.

E88CC-SV83-SET-Amplifiers.jpgDual SV83 SET Amplifiers3438 viewsA mirrored pair of SET amplifiers, presently being used in bridged mode. All P2P construction using silver solder. I included a "Hazen grid" capacitor and input tube bias change switch. The single mA meter displays individual output tube bias current with a Left/Right switch. Edcor XPRW178 power transformer and GXSE10-6-8K output transformers. Upgraded caps to Jantzen Audio 1200V Z-Superior. Upgraded resistors to PRP PR9372 Audio for metal film and TAKMAN REX for carbon film. ALPS Blue 100K attenuator. The power supply uses a RCA 5U4GB rectifier and Hammond 156R choke. Matched pairs of Svetlana SV83 for power and JJ E88CC for the input tube.

6V6-Push-Pull-Amplifier.jpgPush-Pull (PP) 6V6GT Tube Amplifier2839 viewsThis 6V6 amp was built following the DIY Push-Pull (PP) 6V6 / 6V6GT Tube Amplifier Schematic. Power Supply transformer and Output transformers are handmade in Argentina by NavasBaccino. I'd like to thank Brad S. for the help. The sound is amazing and clear, free of distortion.
