I have had exactly the same project in the works for 1/2 billion years.
Well done 👍

Alejo, I trust those are audiophile grade stones on your amplifier in the first photo.

Are you using feedback, other than local UL connection?
Do you have any measurements?
Great CNC work!

@filenet no negative reaction...🙂

Beautiful work! Even G codes- lol.
I'm proud of my work... but most of what's on this thread is next level

I am always pleased to see that we can not only make something, but make something beautifully. So much work goes into a project. When you are done it isn't something that you want to make excuses for. Even better is when you may make a mistake and can turn it into an improvement. The harder thing for me to do is start over and scrap the front panel or whatever has no chance at looking right.

I finally got around to rebuild the PSU for my 6S4S PP. Had to put the darn thing in a trolley to be able to move it around.

Work in progress,almost finished the second SE 300 B . Up2 stream pro from Arylic inside the amplifier .

Magnificent as always!

Those of you who believe that even contacts and different wire materials contribute to the sound, would consider a sacrilege using electrician's aluminium wire terminal tubes, as Alex use.

I cant afford to connect with silver or gold cables , yet but in the future who knows.🙂 I do my best .

In Norway we call them sleeves. When you use many stranded conductors, it sometimes gets a bit messy because of these small copper wires. Then they use sleeves, which are small tinned copper tubes that are placed around all the copper wires, and with the help of a sleeve pliers, the copper tube will wrap around and it will be a solid connection. Aluminum is never used in this type of construction, is it? If you don't use sleeves, theoretically there will be a small spark between each copper wire, which can create heat ... Unpractical to use aluminium wires. Alu are very soft and difficult to connect in connectors seen on PCB-s, because they are made for cu.wires.

During a recent visit to VAS Audio to pick up a couple of MC phono cartridges refurbished by Steve, I spotted a blast from my past! This SE10 amp with Tango/Hirata OPTs was one of the very few I released into the wild over two decades ago.😊

Hi, here my first finished tube power amplifier, parallel single ended with active loaded output stage

This EL34 single-ended valve amplifier has been a labour of Love for me. I handcrafted it using the best components I could afford. All wiring is done point-to-point. I also did the copper metalwork and woodwork myself, except for the volume knob and feet. The amplifier is switchable between ultra-linear pentode and triode operation. The negative feedback is also switchable.

Dedicated to Sanātana Dharma and all my Loved ones who've passed on.

The underside of the amplifier has the cooling holes hand-drilled in the design of a Mandala, one has the Aum sign in it and the other a Swastika.

Braille is written in Hindi and English and reads "Honouring God and all my Ancestors".

What is the swastika about?
