Hey all,
I'm finally going to be finishing my SSE build. I'm pretty excited to finally be putting this together. I bought the board back around 2012, bought various parts for it here and there and shelved it for a long time. Finally got around to soldering the board and getting the final components. Just wanted to say thank you to George and everyone on here for their insight. I don't really post at all but I am always lurking around the Tube Lab threads.
Here's the build:
Picked up a Hammond chassis from Digikey a while back, glad I went with this size as the iron I got from Edcor are huuuuge. I need to finish up a few things on the board yet. I got the wrong coupling caps installed somehow, I missed the correct value and put in .045 auricaps.
I am using all Edcor power,output and choke for the build.
I ended up getting the XPWR035 trans and the CXSE25-8-5k output transformers and a CXC125-10-200ma choke.
For tubes I picked up Tung Sol 6L6GC STR, Tung Sol 5AR4, and 12AT7 Electro Harmonix. At some point I may pick up some others but those I felt were reasonably priced to start with.
As always any input or questions are welcome!
Cheers!
Later this week I'll get to cutting the chasis and wiring this thing up! I can't wait!
