Black Pearl

My black pearl Love its sound. One more improvement on the way. I hope I will replace output transformers with amorphous versions just before Xmas.

Looks great! Wonderful compact build. What was your source for the chassis?

 

[woynar]

Thank you for kind words Most of the parts for housing I bought in local Polish webshop with diy components. Transformers' covers are bought together with custom made transformers from the manufacturer. Top cover has been laser cut and anodised by small companies in my area.

Fine looking build.

woynar,

That is a smart looking build you got there, congratulations!

Given the compact dimensions, is there a separate power unit? Or a compact toroidal transformer under the hood?

 

[woynar]

Thank you guys! There is no separate power supply. Toroidal power transformer - not so compact actually - and choke are located under the hood.

woynar,

Thanks for sharing a shot of the inside - looks very well organized, and no skimping on the size of the heat-sinks.

Do you have part number for the ones you using for U2, U3 and Q1, Q2 components?

TSE 300B in black

Here's my TSE 300b amp. I built it for my son who asked that it be black. The chassis is a Bud Industries 12x12x3 inch aluminum chassis that I had power coated for $25 after it was drilled for the holes. It's a little tight, but it all fits.
It sounds great and he loves it.

colnago55,

Very nice build. I see you've used James OPT. What do you have for the power transformer?

It sounds great and he loves it. View attachment 650414

Excellent!

Zman,

I'm using an Edcor XPWR-131 which was designed for this amp. This combination of transformers can be used for both 45's and 300b's

Thanks, Jacques

zman01, thank you again. The radiators you are asking for are Stonecold HS-143. They are widely available as I google it.
We have big wholesaler here in Poland: HS-143 STONECOLD - Radiator: wytłaczany | TME - Części elektroniczne

That is elegant. I would love that driving my full range speakers.

One more TubeLab SSE completed, this time went with a solid wooden enclosure. Instead of PU coating (which gives plastic/synthetic feel) I decided to go with oil finish to maintain the natural look and texture of wood.

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

OMG! It's a piece of art. Just beautiful!

Looks very nice. How do you keep it from overheating?

 

[mkane77g]

Fine looking. Do you have a pdf of the back panel? thanks

PM me your E-Mail ID. I will mail you the DWG file.

After admiring the chassis more I bet there is no bottom cover to the plate which prevents overheating. Is that true?
