Hi,
After reading some time on this forum I decided to subscribe and learn a lot of you here.
I plan already for years to build a tube amplifier and collect as much info as possible.
Some years ago I had the opportunity to listen to a set up with an SE Amp where the famous 300B was used.
I was amazed about the details in the music that I never heard before and after.
My set up would be a turn table with tube pre-amp + a tube amp connected to the pre -amp with also an option to connect my iPod to it.

well then, let's say - Welcome to the forum,
If you are going to build a tube amp -- then see the link below.
They have a very cheap new tube-amp power transformer at:
EOO - ElectronicaOnderdelenOnline
more exact:
Transformatoren - Voedingstrafo Buizenapparatuur - EOO - ElectronicaOnderdelenOnline
The shields / caps to cover the windings are also available.
I discovered this transformer a few days ago only $50.
Grtz,

Grtz,
I have build a KT66 Se amp.
Though i'm back to building solid state things now, Building tube equipment is a very expensive hobby (well, to do it right) i have done it one's but thats final.
Just had to do it one's right😀
I like the sound of a tube amp but the heat, energy consumption, oooh and don't forget the cell-phone sensitivity😛:
The funny thing was that i used a 60 year old dutch power iron and brand-new american output irons -- gave a special look to the whole shebang.

Cell phone sensitivety!
Oke, I didn't realize this. Then I might have to wait for a couple of years that my kids leave the house. Now it's packed with cell phones.
Good you mentioned it, I will reconcider my plan🙁
About solid state, is this your own design and calculation or are you using good proved diagrams?
