Hi all,

My son is interested in making an amplifier to go with speakers that we have built. He wants to have a tube amplifier (because they look cool!), but I am thinking that a gainclone with a tube pre-amp would fit the bill. While he is interested in building audio things, I know from past experience that spending months investigating and experimenting will kill the project.

I have built lots of speakers & a couple of gainclones and kinda understand them, but do not even pretend to understand tube amps. I am looking for a straight forward way of having some fun building an amp with my son. I am interested in any DIY kit, DIY diagram/parts list, or even a Chinese pre-built from eBay, if it will work.

Anyone have some good links or know how to pull this off easily??

Thanks,
Bret

That Bottlehead Quickie looks interesting and I might consider building one in the future. I think the Aikido 9 pin or octal all in one kits might also be a good tube preamp for the gainclone because I've also been researching which tube preamp to build for my gainclone amp.
