Was considering it also..
I saw the article, and it looks fairly simple to build. The 6550 is a good sounding tube, although I have only heard it in push-pull. My old Quicksilver Silver Monos used 6550 B3 from Svetlana, and sounded a lot like a single ended triode amp.
I recently came across a used set of Doc Bottlehead 2a3 Paramours at a good price, and am now a firm believer in SET'S. After listening to these amps, I have decided to do Eric Barbours "single ended glory" 45 tube amp, which is also simple looking.
I just blew my last spare few hundred bucks on some 45 tubes, a Hammond chassis, the chokes, power trannie, etc. Need to get the opt's, and some passive components, and put it all together.
