Hi to all Tubes friends,
i want to introduce you today my finished HighEnd Mono-Block project.
It based on the circuit of the netherlands Tube Guru Triode Dick, the "Ceasar II".
To the components:
The Output-, Chocke- and Powertransformers are from AE-Europe and were build, developed and optimized in cooperation with Triode Dick.
To push the top quality of the OT´s, i have ordered them with silver wire on the secondary side.
The design of the 4mm natural anodized aluminum panels comes from my "mind" and were build from Schaeffer in Berlin.
Because i don´t have the faintest idea of woodwork, my good friend John Eekels helped me and build some wonderful cabinets fo my project. As always he made a perfect job!
Thanks again at this point.
Now to the tubes:
For the 300B Tube there were only one tube in my mind, the Emission Labs EML 300B-XLS. This tube made a perfect job for months in my Woo Audio WA5-LE headphone amp and is one of the best 300B´s on the planet.
You could get it from JAC Music. If you have questions about it, Jac van de Walle from JAC Music is a great specialist about Tube questions.
The D3a Tube, exclusiv build for the former German Post, you could get quite well at ebay ect.
As 6N30P i use an original russian REFLECTOR "DR" version. It is build exclusive for the russian army.
For the rectifier tube Triode Dick provided normally a GZ37 or a GZ34.
At this point i selected one of the most recommended rectifiers for my Mono´s, the NOS Mullard High Wycombe CV378 (GZ37 "Fat Glass / Coke Bottle").
The remaining parts are selected within my HighEnd thoughts.
Capacitors: Mundorf Tube Caps (Power Supply), Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil (Input Stage)
Resistors: Audio Note Tantalum 2W (Signal path), Kiwame for the rest
Tubebases: Yamamoto Teflon/Gold (JAC Music)
Pole Terminals: WBT 0710-Cu nextgen
RCA Sockets: WBT 0210-Ag nextgen
Interconnect Cable: Homegrown Audio IC-4 Solid Silver 4 Strand Interconnect Braid (RCA Socket/Input Stage)
Hookup Wire: 0,6mm single strand (PTFE silver plated copper wire)
But now enough words.
May i introduce.....

Thanks Jason.

Thanks Jason.
Congratulation!
By the way, I don't like res.Kiwame. I used this kind, after I changed to TR16...
Cheh Republic. Sound is "2 level" better!🙂
Good sounding!!

Tr16.. ? Could you post a little more?
After extreme good experiences with the Tx2575 from Texas Components
in my DAC Project, this would be also a choice. 🙂

HI GReat work !!
I have the 300Bxls too 😉 but why with your speakers 😱 somethings like 45 mesh or 46/10y...

May I have the details of the parts and the schematic diagram. I would like to build one in Perth Australia. I am amateur (1st time DIY) so will need a lot of helps if possible. Much appreciated and kind regards. Saileng

I am very interested too!
I am located in Belgium and I would be very happy to do a European kit project where we can get at least the iron here.
Can you please inform me/us about the schematics and working details? It will be my first independent DIY project. I did several other tube kits before.
Many thanks for reading, regards

Hi Zuheyr,
i attached the schematics from Triodedick.
The transformers are from AE-Europe in the Netherlands. There you could order the transformer set for the Ceasar II.
If you send a mail to AE-Europe, send regards to Kim. She is a very kind person!!! 😉
Best regards,
Oliver
Nice work!!
Where did you get the ammeters? And how large are they?
I've been looking for a reasonably sized meter (say 35~50 mm diameter) but most of what I find is 75~100 mm diameter.
Thanks,
~Tom

Thank you very much Oliver!
I visited the Triodedick's website. Very good manuals for some projects but not Ceasar II as far as I see. I will inquire about the transformers and pass your greetings to Karin!
Thank you again and regards.
