K-16LS-Tube-Amplifier-Kit-Modifications.jpgK-16LS Tube Amplifier Kit with Modifications5377 viewsHere are a couple of photos of Andy's K-16LS Tube Amplifier Kit. The enclosure is a Hammond 16" x 8" x 3" aluminum chassis. The original audio output transformers are 5K6 OPT's from an ELLA amplifier. For more information about Andy's build and modifications, see his webpage.
More information about these kits is available at the S-5 Electronics Tube Amp Kit page.

JAN6418HPD_GalleryII.jpgRaytheon JAN6418 sub-mini valve headphone amp 2742 viewsThis shot shows the Oatley Electronics Kit in a small case to be constructed as a headphone amp/driver. The small cct. brd. is double sided, plated through, solder masked and screen printed. Construction is simple and this $AU27 kit makes an excellent first valve kit of any DIYer. See the other image for the completed headphone amp. The L4949 5V reg. chip lights the led for the first second it is on then only re-lights when the battery voltage falls below 6.8V. Nice touch. The reg chip supplies 5V to the filaments which are in series with a 270omh resister. The amp only draws 12mA. Two 9V lithium batteries power the unit. In the preamp version the PT2308 headphone driver chip was replaced with a Burr-Brown OPA2134. Excellent sound stage and rich bass. And it is a portable headphone amp!
There is more information available on the JAN6418 Valve (Tube) Headphone Amplifier Kit page.

tube_amplifier.jpg5692 / 8417 SE Tube Amplifier2611 viewsThis amplifier was built to reproduce music playback with high fidelity. The sound is light and natural. One doesn't get tired of listening to it for many hours. The voice sounds softly and naturally without tension. The amplifier has great microdynamics. The preamp is built based on tube 5692. The power amplifier uses tubes 8417. The tubes can be replaced with different ones: 6L6, 6L6GC, KT88, 6V6 and alike. In this case, the current of the output tubes can be tuned. The output transformers are Hashimoto HC-507U 5K. For more pictures, please visit http://alexkap.com

Ion_DIY_2-Way_TMM_Tower_Speaker.jpgIon - DIY 2-Way TMM Tower Loudspeaker6550 viewsThe Ion tower loudspeaker project is Adam's latest diy speaker project. The Ion is a 2-way speaker in a TMM configuration. A Tang Band 25-1372SC 1" inverted titanium dome tweeter is used along with a pair of Audax HM170CO 6" woven carbon fiber woofers.
The Ion speaker project will be a very challenging build but Adam notes that it comes with a huge payoff! The Ion tower speakers have quickly become Adam's favorite loudspeakers.
For the full project details, see the Ion - DIY 2-Way TMM Tower Speaker Project.

DIY-6AS7-Tube-Headphone-Amplifier.jpgDIY 6AS7 Tube Headphone Amplifier4402 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 amplifier3420 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 Amplifiers3489 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 Amplifier2874 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.
