• WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
    Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be
    performed by someone who is thoroughly familiar with
    the safety precautions around high voltages.

But do you make them yourself? Do you buy them? Where do you get them?

(Who'd have thought it would be so hard for this question to cross the language barrier! :eek:)

Well.... In all fairness, your questions like "what are they made from" leave a lot up to interpretation. With many possible correct answers how is the recipient supposed to know which one of the correct answers you're looking for? Sometimes over-communication can be useful (as you did above).

@dberglez: cool tech looking!
What is the purpose of the hourglass? Heating up period?
On turn on, hourglass turned 180 degrees, turn the heating, and after 30 sec turn the HV. After 2 second, turn the other voltage ( input selector and Nixie). When work, every 60 seconds turned the hourglass to 180 degrees. I used a low voltage (190 V), and the amplifier is currently working in AB class and has a 7.6 W. I will install a transformer from 230V-240V (sec). If I'm right, power will be around 10W.:rolleyes:

My first tube amp project.
DIY enclosure without finishing...

6F12P front end and PP pentode connected EL34 power tubes.

Little testdrive...

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.


and almost complete amp.

Sounds very good. :D
