K-12M-Tube-Amp-Test-Listen.jpgK-12M Tube Amp - First Listen5851 viewsThis is my first listen with a K-12M Tube Amp Kit. The source is a NAD C542 cd player, with 3 way 12" 92dB efficient speakers and Transparent 200 interconnect cables. A cool way to get into valve amps. I lost 1000 hours here!

6E5P_SE_6n1p_driver-_maze_OPTS.jpg6E5P SE, 6n1p driver, MAZE OPT's in a scrappy chassis for testings3159 viewsThis is one of my latest audio tube DIY projects made in a scrappy chassis for breadboard use and measurements. I 'll transfer it to a nice wooden chassis now for sure.
The tube in output is the russian HF tetrode 6E5P, with max anode dissipation 8.5 Watts. It's a hell of a driver together with a CCS or Choke loaded solution. The driver is a classic ground cathode with the 6n1p for both channels. The 6n1p cathodes are not cap bypassed so the gain in this operating point is ~ 8. This is what exactly needed to drive the 6E5P in full output without the use of a preamp. The PSU is a tube type one using the Sovtek 5AR4. All the PSU caps are MKP (Mcap by Mundorf 100μF/400v.
By the way there is no Electrolytic cap in this Frankie amp. The cathode bypass cap on the 6E5P stage (output) is also MKP by Solen 82μF/250V. The coupling cap from driver to 6E5P grids is RC type using the marvelous 0.22/1000V PIO K40Y Russian caps. The OPTS are a bit over sized with 5K primary impedance made by mazeboutique.com.

Gobo-LM1875-Stereo-Amplifier-Kit.jpgGobo LM1875 Stereo Amplifier Kit1789 viewsThe Gobo Stereo Amplifier kit is a class-AB chip amp kit based around the LM1875 IC. This is a complete amp kit that includes all the necessary parts and enclosure to build a stereo amplifier. The LM1875 amp kit comes with audio-grade capacitors and toroidal transformer. The Gobo amplifier kit is easy to build, looks and sounds great. The amplifier kit is well suited to first time amp builders.
For full details, see our review of the Gobo LM1875 Stereo Amplifier Kit

DIY-6AS7-Tube-Headphone-Amplifier.jpgDIY 6AS7 Tube Headphone Amplifier1017 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 amplifier2011 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 Amplifiers2212 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 Amplifier1835 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.
