Is there caps on output?
No caps on output, direct tube-speaker coupling.
A+!
Is there caps on output?
Thanks @azazello !
That said, due to extreme compacity (275 x 175 x 65mm for one chassis), there's a 3-speed fan cooling at the back, using a chimney effect around the 6080 :
Fortunately, the 1st speed is enough to maintain the chassis cold and limit the heat around the 6080 at a reasonable value...
The power output is 10WRMS on 16R, the onset of clipping being at 13-14WRMS. The bandwith is less than 1Hz to 250KHz. THD is circa 1.5 to 2% H2 at 10W.
A+!

Very nice! I like the diecast enclosures.

Yes, I find them very practical, reliable and cost effective. Another great point of interest to me is that it allow the building of compact amps. I used these ones :
Hammond 1550J :: Diecast Aluminum :: Enclosures Boxes :: Electronic Parts :: Banzai Music GmbH
Parts placement :
Tracing and drilling :
Engine turning :
Pre-assembly :

Very nice amp congrats, I have a question, what would be the outcome of a failure on one tube to the speaker ? ...all the best
There is fast fuse in output.Very nice amp congrats, I have a question, what would be the outcome of a failure on one tube to the speaker ? ...all the best

Thanks @kissabout2002 !
Nearly nothing on a true OTL SEPP circuit - and by the way nothing dangerous for a speaker : at worse of the worse, 0.5 to 1VDC offset voltage, that can be easily identified. Remember that 1WRMS on 8R represents 2.83V...

There is fast fuse in output.
Not in speaker output on mine, but on the plate voltage going to the 6080 - see the faceplates below (+115V and -115V fuses) :
