DIY-KT77-Push-Pull-Tube-Amp.jpgDIY KT77 Push Pull Tube Amplifier2824 viewsThe second "OddWatt" tube amp project. This one is the Oddwatt 225 which will work with a number of octal tubes. Again, the driver stage is an SRPP using 6SL7 tubes and the output stage is a Class A UL SIPP using KT77 vacuum tubes.LM317 Regulators are used to provide the cathode CCS.
For more information, see the 6SL7 SRPP / KT77 SIPP (Push-Pull) DIY Tube Amplifier project page.

Jan6418JewelBoxInside.jpgInside the sub-mini Jewelery box preamp3019 viewsI have a weakness for "cute" enclosures, particularly timber ones. The mirror is just a bonus. The circuit board is part of a kit from Oatley Electronics Australia. I have replaced the carbon resistors in the kit with metal film, the 0.1uF MKT caps with 0.47uF polypropylene types, the 220uF electrolytic caps (output) with 470uF low ESR types. Also the PT2308 headphone driver chip was replaced with a Burr-Brown OPA2134 OP amp chip. 2 X 9V lithium batteries provide 9V to a L4949 regulator which controls filament current to the Raytheon JAN6418 sub-mini valves. Attenuation is trim set and volume controlled by external devices.
Three grommets are used as valve dampeners. These tiny valves can be extremely microphonic. Three grommets stops the microphonic problems dead! The amp is extremely quiet. See the JAN6418 Valve (Tube) Preamplifier Kit page for full details.

B2BO_ICEPower_1000ASP_modules_.jpgICEPower 1000ASP modules in Par-Metal Enclosure4191 viewsThis is a high power audio amplifier project that I recently completed. The amplifier used two B&O ICEPower 1000ASP modules. Each amplifier module is rated at 1000 Watts. The two amplifier modules are housed in a Par-Metal aluminum case. The amplifier sounds amazing with my Epos ELS303 speakers.

DIY-6AS7-Tube-Headphone-Amplifier.jpgDIY 6AS7 Tube Headphone Amplifier4335 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 amplifier3371 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 Amplifiers3435 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 Amplifier2839 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.
