FS: Two Tubelab SSE PCB

Hello. I have two unused Tubelab SSE PCB's. I purchased these boards myself and they have remained untouched and stored in there tote since they arrived at my home. I'm not going to use them. I would like to sell both of them to one buyer.


2 SSE pcb's for $70.00 shipped free in the USA.


Paypal. Thank you.

This circuit is bulletproof, sounds fantastic, and is a lot of fun (and easy) to tweak to work with a wide variety of pentodes and tetrodes. In fact, while no longer my daily driver, a triode-strapped SSE amp is the workhorse of my second/WOH office system.
 
I may be interested in these boards, but need to do a bit more research about building the kit. I've read through most of George's notes on the Tubelab website.

Can this amp be set up to swap out el34, 6l6gc, and kt88 without having to swap any parts? or will a switch need to be added to change the cathode resistor?

I sold my tube amps and have some tubes left over that need an amp to be used with. I was thinking this or the Elekit 8200.

Thanks.
 
Hope I'm not overstepping here...

I run EL34, 6L6GC, KT66 and KT77 in my amp without changing anything. Obviously this does not result in an ideal operating point for all (or perhaps any) of them but nonetheless they all sound great, and the character of each tube makes itself clear to me.

If you wanted to also run KT88 or 6V6 you'd need to change the cathode resistor somehow (a DAC, whose name escapes me, has binding posts to allow coupling caps to be easily swapped out).

B+ can be tweaked across a pretty wide range with different rectifiers. After changing the cathode resistor a couple times I ended up using a 5V4 instead of a 5AR4 to keep the B+ where I wanted it.
