The module with the seven adjustments pots is ready.
Most passive components of the amp are also mounted on this board.
I used the Tektronix ceramic mounting strips.
This module will be fitted under the main chassis.
More to follow later.

I would be inclined to add grid stopper and 100pf to grid of first valve.
I just finished a valve/TDA7294 hybrid amp and it oscillated on the output.
The valve was picking up noise and a 47k resistor and 100pf on first grid sorted it out.

In a couple of months, I will try (and implement if needed) your suggestion.
I am not in this construction fase yet.
Thanks anyway!

Hi,
I really see no other way to get a decent looking finish.
I think Schaeffer is a great and valuable firm for one-off projects.
I want my finished project to look 100% like I have it in mind.

what is the advantage of cascoding tubes?
in SS, it improves switching speed and VAS voltage capability.
Tubes appear to be free of these problems and have very low miller capacitances

i have yet to try cascoding, with tubes, cascoding is used to get pentode gains
without the partition noise of a true pentode....
for rf, this is done, for audio, there are not many amps that used this,
i saw one, the Gromes 360 if i am not mistaken...

planning to make one in 2018, can you tell me what irons you used in this amp? thanks..
I agree with this remark, but I think it will not be a problem.
We will know within a couple of months...
It's aliiiiiiive !!!!!!!!!!!
I just finished the amplifier and burned it in all day today.
I had to reverse the primary wires of the output transformer of one channel to stop a heavy oscillation.
Also I added a 100µF/100V electrolytic capacitor parallel with R41, to minimize any possible hum.
I made no other modifications to the original RCA schematic.
After many hours of playing, the amp does not get hot, it just gets lukewarm.
That' nice!
Sound is very good and powerfull.
With my ears close to the speaker, NO hum and NO noise.
Next to do is to make a nice wooden plinth and a bottom panel.
I will post pictures later.
Best regards, Frans.
