FinishedInide.JPGOP Amp Preamp - inside the case6815 viewsOn the test bench for a short run-in period. The lids off waiting for smoke. No smoke but on the first start there was a minor fault. I have been listening to the preamp for two hours now and found it adds nothing to the sound (as a preamp should) and extends control with volume and balance adjustment. The yellow caps are 0.47 uF polypropylene metal film. Full details are available for this project at: DIY Op Amp based Preamplifier Project.

000pbs6w.jpg25L6G Tube Stereo Amplifier3639 views25L6G Tube Stereo Amplifier
A work in progress. This is only an assemblage of parts so far with nothing bolted together, but it gives sort of a preview of the finished project. The chassis will be painted black wrinkle much like the transformer covers in the back. The driver tubes are 12SN7s and 6SL7s

two-stage-RIAA-phono-tube-preamp.jpgTwo stage tube phono preamp with RIAA equalization2845 viewsAfter building a number of diy jFet based phono preamps, on request from a friend, I built this two stage tube phono RIAA preamp. The circuit design is from the TubeCAD Journal and is one of the simpler designs on the site. The circuit construction is contained on veroboard (perfboard) and housed in extruded aluminum enclosures from Hammond. The external PS run from a 24VAC wall wart. A step-up tranni converts this to 260V and a two stage C-R filtering ensures clean power. The heater voltage is DC. Tubes are Golden Dragon 12AX7s. Russian PIO caps are used in the inter-stage coupling/output and Sprague orange drops for the RIAA stage. With my Grado Reference MM wood body cartridge this preamp sounds divine.

DIY-6AS7-Tube-Headphone-Amplifier.jpgDIY 6AS7 Tube Headphone Amplifier6969 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 amplifier5976 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 Amplifiers6207 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 Amplifier5163 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.
