my tube amp started from this junked RCA-Victor

then it transformed to this:

Just beautiful! The best looking build I've seen in a looooong time- thoroughly professional inside & out!

Nice fit on the side panels- a very clean appearance on the top panel - looks like excellent ventilation too.

I notice the bias controls on the top panel and wonder why you chose them to be so "end-user accessible" -is the bias monitored externally?

Only today I was thinking about using pots to set the bias individually instead of the usual "total bias current" and "DC Balance" arrangement. Nice choice!

Congratulations on a gorgeous design!
 
Whose transformers did you use? The power and output are exactly the same size, it appears- so I wonder if you fabricated the cans yourself and fit the transformers inside, or if you found a vendor that just happened to make them the same size?

I do the Power trans and Output trans by my Toroidal winding machine.
The power trans and output trans have the same size and their size are large enough for the cans.

RS 607 Telefunken

hey Guys!
I just finished my 100W? SE amp.
2 rectifier tubes on the right
on the left a 6EM7 which is beefy enough to steer the huge RS607.
I measure well over 30V into 8 ohms (with headphones on)
No distortion I can hear....
No humm either.
Now the left channel.
The front is going to be ground stainless steel or wood, don't know yet.
the top a glass plate.

Hi Adamus,
this is what it looks like right now.
I had a lot of trouble getting rid of some 100Hz humm.
Tried about everything, different tubes, shield the transformer, use other diodes, replaced the diodes by tubes, replaced the tubes by diodes, more caps, less caps, more L's... filter the 230 in.
move the transformers around.
2 months of fiddling.
Then a friend said....
put one side of the pre-amp heater to gnd.
done.
gone.
that's why it says 1.1 on the diagram. I'd gone up to 3.6 already....

It sounds.... like a HUGE SE...
gerrit
