Hi guys, my latest project,

the OddWatt KT88 amp, but I didn't buy the kit, I build it myself. Here are some pics. Great amp 25 watts per channel UL sounds the best ever heard.

Hallo everybody,

yes I love my amplifier. I am thinking of redoing it in favor of my thermal delay tubes, I got two of those and I really want t use the to have B+ somewhat 30 seconds delayed, they are cool. And I would do some things different, maybe I buy another Hammond and do it again.


Greetings from Holland


Ben

Very nice amp dr. socrates! I'd love to hear more about the casework.

- Where did you get the transformer covers?
- How did you engrave the metal plate and wood?
- How did you paint the top plate and covers?
- How does it sound? (obligatory)

Dr. Socrates, those covers are HUGE. What are you hiding there?

hello.
well i am from india.all the good work you have been doing seems like a dream for diyers like me in india.
your work is fantastic.
i have decided in making a horn loaded speaker for me just waiting for the proper time and financial adjustment for purchasing fostex 206e. customs and other taxes double the cost here making it next to impossible acquiring such stuff.
finally please guide me as which tube amp would be suitable for driving theses horn loaded drivers.i am not technically sound so would like help from you. what output should i be looking at 206e is rated at 90 watts RMS. so should i go for 6L6GC Push Pull twelve tubes amp, or 833se from tube lab. i am confused also i don't understand the many ac outputs from transformers. i have assembled a lm3886 based 300 watts rms amp it runs good, but it seems far more easier than assembling a tube amp.
another thing i have heard that tube amps don't have solid bottom end. please guidee

i believe the paint is a type of powder coat.
