Doubling the power of hifi tube amplifiers

[andresfont]

You guys! Pull it in and zip it up for ghods sake. Might as well be talking about hot rods...

Yeah, I built a 1000000 watt tube amp when I was nine years old. With my eyes closed ;-)

Wow!!!! congratulations. I suppose you write in this forum from the NASA

From someone who has built plenty of both amps and hotrods, there are several parallels.... RPM = voltage Torque = current Final drive ratio = OPT's turns ratio Too much RPM has about the same effect as too much voltage...smoke and broken parts.......

Building a tube amp with your eyes closed might just be possible (look out for soldering iron burns, though)

Very true. And make sure you're wearing long pants, not shorts.

It is possible, but I so far not happened to me(smoke and broken parts) and has already spent more than a month after the this hotrods. I think it depends on how well things are made........
