Just joined after a long time of reading threads on here. Always been a tinkerer, though my desire far outweighs my technical knowledge. I know enough to not shock myself or potentially blow something up, but have yet to actually build anything. I do know how to solder, can build many things well, just never really ventured into electronics.
I do love my Class A stuff and am looking into a JLH 1969 amp as my first project, likely in the form of a kit, then build a power supply for it.
Anyway, I will be reading and searching quite a bit, more than posting.

I hear there are some knowledgeable folk in Central America.
Welcome Fast14riot 🙂
The JLH is not only good to work on, but sounds good too. You may need to stabilise it using modern transistors. Do you have an oscilloscope?

I do not have a scope. I know that will limit me in my tuning, but was hoping to follow a few of the recommended upgrades to current and better transistors etc, from a few proven builds, just to get a functional amp to start with.
Hope so too! Don't know of it'll replace my Pass amp, but might be a good second system, and I hope to learn a bunch while doing it!
..and you should. Keep in mind that amplifier stability and oscillation is not a matter of tuning, but troubleshooting. It can depend on your layout even if you follow instructions and it can be difficult to detect even when it's happening.
You have a pass amp. Wow how nice😁. They are wonderful amps. I hope 1 day I can afford a pass amp. 🤷🏻♂️
As of yet, I wouldn't know what to look for buying an oscilloscope, nor best practice on using it. But, it is something I do intend on getting the knowledge to use and become proficient with.
