That's what exactly the tube i was thinking...I have done 6N16b Aikido before and still have enough supply of them, and now i must try that ccda from Tubecad if that's exactly it is...
Perfect work, the point to point suspended over the contrast that the button give to the view in the fiberglass button reveals a delicate finish, the socket coming from rimlock (I guess) without metal edge is a clever decision. 6N16 nice tube election nice curve.

Many thanks all you guys for the kind words.
The 6N16 is a 8 wire arrangement and not very friendly for a casual experiment because one has to solder them all around in a perfect circular pattern.
So I wondered about using an 8 pin CI socket but.. too small, fragile and I would have to get a PCB done for that, one way or another...
The solution came to my mind like this:
The rest was pretty easy to implement.

Hello all,
I've been doing some experiments with the subminiature tubes.
They are indeed wonderful devices for audio.
Highly reccomended!
This is my latest linestage, the VTR LS3i:

Very nice work! How do you guys bend component leads and solid wires so neatly? Seriously, is there a video posted somewhere?
Here we go again....after 9 months solitary confinement another 500W behemoth, same weight (55kg) and power appears from the lab. Same identical performance to the other two I made earlier.
One was sold to a music studio.
Eagle eyed members may spot the photo of a Neve Console in the top rh corner. There lies one of my audio secrets as sometime ago I worked in the famed Rupert Neve empire as a tester and designer....the discipline to achieve quality sound changes one, and the same approach reflected in my tube amps for both MI and HiFi.

Hi jervill,
Thanks for your kind words.
Unfortunately I have no videos from the its construction stage.
Bending/shaping those wires: no so difficult but a bit time consuming...

I made this PP 6L6 amp many years ago. It is based on an article in Glass Audio by Joseph Norwood Still. I made many improvements. I parted her this year... I need to pay my bills.
Very classic, like ftrom the 40's. i like that you dont have extra screws on the top.
