DIY-6NS7-KT88-Tube-Monoblocks.jpgDIY 6NS7-KT88 Monoblock Tube Amps4470 viewsI purchased these extreme valve monoblocks from Dan in Australia, who built them from the ground up, for a song. They are based on the uni-amp cct. brd. You can plug and play KT88(s), 6L6(s) and EL34(s) output valves and switch between pentode and triode mode. The transformers are oversized and were special wound for Dan. Each block weighs over 22kg. The input and driver tubes are Golden Dragon 6SN7(s) with tube rectification. It uses tranni input coupling. Power is 27W.

KT88-Push-Pull-Tube-Amplifier-Cover.jpgKT88 Push-Pull Tube Amplifier (monoblock)2509 viewsThe third of the "OddWatt" tube amp projects. This one is the Odd Blocks which will work with a number of octal tubes (KT77, 6CA7, EL34, 6L6GC, KT88, KT90, 6550). The driver stage is an SRPP using a 12SL7 tube. For the amp shown above, the output stage is a Class A UL SIPP using Gold Lion KT88 vacuum tubes. LM317 Regulators are used to provide the cathode CCS.
For more information, see the 12SL7 SRPP / KT88 Push-Pull DIY Tube Amp project page.

OPA2134-opamp-Headphone-Amplifier.jpgOPA2134 CMoy Style Portable Headphone Amplifier2060 viewsThis simple headphone amplifier is based on the high performance OPA2134 opamp chip. This headphone amp\driver is good sounding and portable. The schematic is based on the very popular CMoy headphone amp design with some changes in passive parts values. For the power supply I elected to power the amp from two 9V batteries (18V) which provides longer playback time and greater dynamics.
There is only 100 mm of hookup wire in the signal path and all connections are component-2-component on the protoboard. Low ESR 200uF caps and a resistive network provide the differential voltages required to operate the chip without an output capacitor. The brd. is silver soldered with Mil. spec machined chip socket and Russian PIO caps on the input. Power only comes on when both phone jacks have plugs in them and the power switch (at the back) is on. The enclosure is impact resistant and lined with heavy aluminum foil for shielding and enclosure resonance control. The sound is clean and bright with good volume and dynamics. The amp is dead quiet with no signal.

4-channel-400W-amplifier.jpg 4 channel, 400 W amplifier519 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 Amplifiers496 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 Amplifier429 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.

Decware-inspired-EL84-amp.jpgDecware inspired EL84 amp with attenuation463 viewsThis is a Decware inspired EL84 power amp with attenuation. My twist was to make a it a EL84 SE UL (not triode). Also I upgraded the PS a little. One PS tweak was to use a Russian PIO 4uf cap as the first cap in the PS. Also the larger electros are all snubbed.
The inter-stage caps are Audio Note Tin foil, mylar and oil. The amp I called "Tamarisk" - just like how it sounds. The finished amp looks good and not too heavy. Sound is a big step up from my already great sounding 6V6 - Ozzie tube SE UL amp. On live classical every part of the music has a layer. There every instrument is heard in its own layer and decay, reveb etc also have their own layers.
