SGregory, very interesting design! Congrats.
Left knob seems to be power switch. Is it?

The left knob is the selector switch. The line amp will accept 3 unbalanced inputs. I am not real happy with the knob and will probably redo.
Found some burr wood in our wood pile.

I don't think I've ever posted in the gallery before, so here goes. Of course after looking around a bit I'm left with a decidedly "unworthy" feeling.

Here's my take on the lilliput amplifier using mostly spare parts that I had around from previous, similar builds. The power supply is a SS rectified, choke filtered design by a friend who also helped tweak the amp circuit to better use parts that I had on had. The chassis is oak with a custom aluminum top plate made by Cam-Expert. I'll try to get the schematics cleaned up in case someone else wants to build a 25lb headphone amplifier.

Very nice job. The internal wiring cleanliness is an inpsiration.
I assume it sounds as good as it looks.

Thanks! I cut my wiring chops on a few other projects and figured out quickly that while it take a lot of time and effort to end up with a clean layout it really is worth it in the end especially if you have to do any troubleshooting.

And yes, it sounds quite good to my ears.

Here is my first tube amplifier. Tubes have 300V on cathode and power of this amp is 4W per channel to 4ohm load. The weight of all amp is 10kg, it´s quite heavy for moving. I used typical europe tubes PCL86 and ECC83. Brands of tubes are TESLA so I think tubes are from Czechoslovakia. Transformers are from old radio.

It is dangerous to use octal sockets for power supply. You or somebody else can touch the high voltage pins...
