LM3875-Gainclone-Chip-Amp-I.JPGLM3875 Gainclone Raosting Pan / Chip Amplifier5389 viewsThis is my first LM3875 Gainclone / Chip Amp. It was constructed following some of the notes from this LM3875 Gainclone / Chip Amp in a Roasting Pan. The volume control (potentiometer) is an ALPS Black Beauty. All soldering was done using silver solder. The bridge rectifier and capacitors are all snubbed with small, but good quality capacitors.

KitAmpUnderSmall.jpgKT88 SE UL tube power amp - underside3895 viewsThe underside of a KT88 SE UL power amp consists of, Edcor XSE series OPT, Hammond 10H choke, rectifier unit with SF diodes and 200uF of filtering. Turret boards were used for the KT88 sockets (ceramic), cathode resistors and bypass caps. All other components are wired, point-to-point, on a smaller circuit board X2 caps are used for the coupling caps. All component are inexpensive and readily available. The amp suffered from hum until the filter caps were increased. 100uF before and after the choke are required. The PS delivers a very quiet 410V. 30V is dropped across the cathode resistors which provide the biasing to the power tubes. At idle 63mA is drawn per tube. The sound is extended and detailed with a 6W delivery. Excellent sound stage depth. Frequency range is from 35Hz to 46kHz (-3dB points).
The amplifier follows the Single-Ended (SE) KT88 Tube Amplifier Schematic by Mikael Abdellah.

DIY-6AS7-Tube-Headphone-Amplifier.jpgDIY 6AS7 Tube Headphone Amplifier7133 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 amplifier6118 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 Amplifiers6365 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 Amplifier5313 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.
