Nelson-Pass-Bride-of-Zen-BoZ-Preamplifier.jpgNelson Pass Bride of Zen (BoZ) Preamplifier6196 viewsThis is my slant on Mr Pass’s Bride of Zen (BoZ). Big Ruskie 0.1uF 40y-9 PIO military caps handle front-end de-coupling while 10uF polypropylene caps sit at the back. The 40y-9 caps are foil, paper in oil, glass encapsulated then metal encapsulated and sound divine. An Alps blue velvet potentiometer attenuates the input controlled by a 4 oz solid brass knob. Metal film resistors and silver plated wire wrap wire add quality to the custom build. This preamp is built on a strip board. The JFETs are 2SK170 BL. The RCA plugs are gold plated, 5% WBT silver solder is used throughout. Two 10,000uF caps (snubbed) ensure a dead quiet supply and loads of bottom-end. The enclosure is a Hammond anodized Aluminum case.
Nice Mongrel Dog.

6L6-5881-SE-Tube-Amp.jpgSingle-Ended (SE) 6L6 / 6L6GC / 5881 Tube Amp6193 viewsCutoff pentodes (6SJ7 or 6SD7) are used to drive 6L6 or 5881 output tubes. Tungsram 6SJ7 and Sovtek 5881WXT tubes are shown in the photo. The power supply is solid state and DC is used on the tube heaters.
The OPT covers are made from copper clad board and the enclosure is all aluminum and hand made.
See the DIY Single-Ended (SE) 6L6 / 5881 Tube Amplifier project page for more information.

Mill_2.JPGRear View of the DIY OTL Tube Amps 6101 viewsThe chassis of my amps were machined in this German Milling machine - a real beast . It had to be repaired at a few stages just to complete the build. You can see the torodials that are used for the Driver stage ( smallest ) ..The Heaters ( next largest 6.3vac @ 32A ) and the Output Power supply ( the largest toroid - 1KVA @ 100 VAC )

S5-K16LS-Tube-Amp-Kit-Mahogany.jpgK-16LS Tube Amp Kit (16W)6086 viewsThe S-5 Electronics K-16LS tube amplifier kit built into a Mahogany case. The tube amp kit was built with all the mods outlined in the forums here at diyAudioProjects.com. The circuit board was built with components (except the tube sockets) on the bottom side so just the tubes would be exposed. The front driver tubes is lit red with LEDs.

PradaInsideBack.jpgPrada OPA627 Preamplifier - inside6076 viewsI was inspired to build this preamp by learning of the Burr-Brown OPA627 (very high performance OP amp) and access to my daughter's Prada phone, heavy cardboard, container. The preamplifier modules are constructed on vero proto boards. Only component wire was used here. The input caps are Cornell Dubilier (white) and Solen (black) was used for the output). Metal film resistors, all pure silver hookup wire, gold RCAs jack and WBT silver solder make this a quality build. The box is lined with bitumanised aluminum foil and an Alps Blue Velvet attenuator and 4oz solid brass black knob add to this build. Four 9V lithium batteries (1200Ah each) drive the unit.

EL84-Single-Ended-Tube-Amp.jpgTesting a DIY SE EL84 Tube Amp6047 viewsHere I am testing the Single Ended EL84 Stereo Amplifier. The whole AMP fits on a 100 by 160 mm DIY PCB. A double triode ECC88 / 6DJ8 or ECC82 tube is used to amplify the input signal. See other photo for the finished amplifier and more details.

Don-SE-807-Tube-Amplifier.jpgSingle-Ended 807 Tube Amplifier5975 viewsI have stated in the past that my mate Don makes an amp a month. This month Don has completed an 807 amp based on a schematic designed by Matt from the USA and the same as I built a short time back. I took a short listen and thought it OK but a much longer review is required. Don’s iron is wound by Dyne which is near us (Melbourne, Australia) and Don’s superb enclosure bases are made by him from, once more, Australian Spotted Gum. Top plate is once more ABS and OPTs are James. This not only a smart looking amp but with some high quality passives under the bonnet and again a very neat wiring layout. In this build JJ filters caps were used. Don has another amp in the pipeline so stayed tuned. About one month from now (lol).

4-channel-400W-amplifier.jpg 4 channel, 400 W amplifier5974 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.

2nd_monoblock.JPGUnderbelly shot of the DIY OTL Tube monoblock5888 viewsStrangely enough , the second was made intentionally Mirror Image , but I had neglected the fact that the Toroids had the same winding tail positions , so the build wasn't perfectly mirror image after all . This actually was a bit of a headache , since the first was more ideally layed out in electrical design & visual eye candy
