Haven't measured it but it is pleanty loud. I took the amp to the local Sound Advice store to audition some speakers. It filled the 15x15 sound room when connected to a pair of martin logan electrostatics. I have 90db efficiency speakers connected to it and haven't turned it up past about 20% on the volume.vmps said:
No need for a schematic. I just used two power transformers, one for the 200 volt supply and another one for the filament supply. I also added a time delay relay and switched the primary of the 200 volt transformer with the delay relay.vmps said:
Let me clarify that. I keep the volume at about 20%while listening at work. when doing seriously listening it is up at around 50-60%.salas said:

Thanks for the clarification, I thought that you didn't use more than 20% in general. 50-60% sounds like more of a comfortable rotational range.
that is what i am getting and my speaker is 92 dB, i hope to have at least 10 to 15 watts on them

That all depends on the room size, but I can say that there is no lack of volume on this amp.
Schematic missing
Hi there,
I knew something would go wrong with the development of this amp... And yes, it did. I just tried to get a hold of a copy of the schematic but the site http://www.audiohobbyist.com/ seems to be looted or at least not very workable.
Does anybody have the schematic from that site lying around? As a return favour here's the URL to my DIY 832a (gu32) amp design and construction:

Thanks Morpheas!
Would be a shame if I had to do all that aluminium work all over (-:
