00003.jpgCustom PCB4099 viewsI know... its not a printed circuit board... because its not printed... but i made it with love.
You can see the rear of the LM3886 and the power cables.
IMG_1960.JPGMini 12AU7 Tube Preamp2918 viewsAnother picture of the 12AU7 tube preamp close up showing the input/output plugs on the side. The preamp got its name from being nearly impossible to wire the internal parts because of the small case.
K-16LS-Tube-Amplifier-Kit.jpgK-16LS Tube Amplifier Kit from S-5 Electroncis5429 viewsThis is a stock build of a K-16LS Tube Amplifier Kit available from S-5 Electronics. The tube amp kit comes with a pine board so you will need to find a suitable enclosure you can fit the amp in or you can build you own enclosure.
See the DIY Tube Amplifier Kits page for more information about the various S-5 Electronics kits.
1.jpgK-16LM 16W Mono Tube Amp Kit5696 viewsThis is the K-16LM mono 16W tube amplifier kit, with Russian PIO capacitors and carbon composite resistors. This Mono Integrated Tube Amplifier utilizes a 5670 triode and 6005 pentode tubes push-pull. It has been converted for use as a guitar amp.
Here are photographs of the guitar amplifier that was built with with tube amp kit.

DIY-6AS7-Tube-Headphone-Amplifier.jpgDIY 6AS7 Tube Headphone Amplifier3403 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 amplifier2661 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 Amplifiers2774 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 Amplifier2299 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.
