Hi there fellow amperes

[Blue Glow]

Hello. This is my first post here although I have visited this site many a times gleaning info from it. I've spent the last year making a tube amp for my car and figured it's about time to get some expert input from you guys. I have finalized a PIC driven HV power supply that drives a 6BQ5 PP amp. The PS was the hard part as I used a schematic of the Dynaco ST-35 for the amp with a couple changes (dual cathode resistors instead of the single) I have one channel working in the garage and it brings a tear to the eye! Not bad for my first tube amp. But, I will have lots of questions for you guys soon!

Thanks for the great site.

Thanks for coming out of your 'Garage'.

Exactly what we need: Blue Glow!
We've got some in the PassLabs Forum with the Blue Led,
And now some fresh one in the Tube Section.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to diyAudio

I know nothing about tubes, but there are many on the site that do! Seems like a challenging first project, a tube amp for a car, how do you cope with all the vibration issues?

Modern cars are fuel injected, so they're far more tolerant of vibration than ones with carburettors and float chambers.
