First post/build

[Jbryant]

Hello all
Thanks for a great site

Ok my first amp build ever and it plays music

and sounds nice

... I read and learned all I could over the past year about building tube amp circuits here on diy and another forum. I started collecting parts about 2 months ago and with alot of help from an oldtimer learned to build a power supply. I decided to use a scheme from boozehound labs for a single ended 6v6-6sn7 amp. The circuit was modded just a bit and I droped the 6sn7 for a 6j5g and used a 5v4g for the rect. The 6v6 is triode straped for about 1w and with the right speaker sounds magical. Running a small 2 way 8" with a horn I can get pretty lound volume from it befor it starts to distort.. Well here are some pics and I will continue to update as I drill and finish the chassis. Thanks for reading

First pics are of the mono build to see if it worked

Time for stereo

Thanks for looking ill do my best to answer any questions but remember im really new to this..

Congrat's on your project. That breadboard looks so cool I would be tempted to leave it.
It looks like Spock's mnemonic memory device from a classic star trek episode.

Cheers.
