That's some very stylish chassis work, Professor. It looks like a piece of test equipment belonging in a physics lab. I like it! Well done.

Agreed. And, I've got those same handles (or pulls) on my kitchen cabinets.

"Abstinence" - 6EM7 power amp

This is the forth of my 6EM7 power amps: one pair of monoblocks (Paris Duo), Integrated dual mono construction with a single stage 12AU7 preamp (Paris), power amp on an Acacia chopping board (Arabella) and now this under-stated sexy power amp - Abstinence.

First time I have used a 6uf motor start as first cap and a different wiring layout. Also two large Chinese made 15W OPTs (under the bonnet) - could be the secret of this one's great sound. Base is Murboo, paint is Epoxy Enamel with Hammond power tranni and 20H\100mA choke, tubes Sylvania NOS.

I have heard that motor start is not good for audio application. Motor run is a better choice isn't it?

Bro! That's SICK!!! Especially the Nixie tube...I love it! Looks nice and functional. all the components have a purpose and not just for show.

I also love the underneath layout. Especially that you use twine to wrap your wiring. I try to do it once and couldn't get it to look as nice. Maybe I'll try again... What kind of twine did you use?

I'm in awe of the level of talent on this forum. Having none myself I recently bought a Shuguang Classic S8MK KT88 integrated. My idea was to use it, on occasion, for variety spelling my Bel Canto mono blocks. The problem is, I love it's sound so much, that the Bel Canto's have been retired to the basement. I bought the Shuguang from Grant Fidelity on closeout. I wasn't expecting anywhere near this level of performance at the price I paid. Now, I'm seriously thinking about having someone do some modifications to try and take the amp to another level.

Because I cannot use the Sophia rec tube I wanted I have replace the motor start cap with a 20uf \900V electro (snubbed). Forgot to mention above, as usual, there is also an onboard mains power filter.

Love the wooden tag strips- did you make them yourself? What are the tags made from?

I made ​​it up out of the wood. Thailand is called the wood of ruk-kaow (Melanorrhoea pilosa)
