Hi from the Netherlands

Hello all,

I'm not much of a DIY person when it comes to audio (or anything else in fact) but do have a love for music, mainly jazz and a sizeable vinyl and cd collection. Have always been listening to solid state, except for a little Musical Fidelity tube box that is now idle. But I have always been interested to learn about the magic of tube amplifiers. I have recently pulled the plug an bought a DIY amplifier from the Dutch version of Craigslist. Now in need of some advice on how to connect everything as it came without cables.

The gear in use right now: Linn LP12 or Rega P25 => Audio Analogue Bellini => Musical Fidelity P270 => Jamo Concert 5. I still have some other gear, part of it set up at my girlfriend's house.

Vincent

It's a 6sn7/300b amp with a separate power supply. The person that had built it died unfortunately. His mother was selling it but didn't know much about it (neither did I as my experience with tubes is practically zero). But the price was low enough to take a gamble and I helped the mother out with some of the other gear that she was planning to throw away (e.g. a Linn Basik turntable and a Musical Fidelity VDAC with separate PSU).

You can also see the problem that I have in the pictures: RCA and speaker connections are clear but DIN5 plugs for power? And why not use DIN also on the other side? I have pictures of the inside too, but I'll create a separate topic for it.
