Just finished a Hagerman Cornet octal

[45144]

I built the Cornet 2 phono stage a long time ago and modded it to an "octal hybrid". Wanted to try the full octal and I had most of the parts on hand. When I built the Cornet 2 I made the power supply in a separate enclosure so I made this to use the same supply.

For those not familiar the Cornet 2 uses 2 12AX7 gain stages and a 12AU7 output, the hybrid replaces the 12AU7 with a 6SN7 and the octal uses 2 6SL7 gain stages and a 6SN7 output.

I made the case from a spare sheet of aluminum and used hardwood floor scraps for the sides.

Sounds great, nice and quiet too.

That's really cool! You should send Jim an email with photos. I think he'd like it a lot. 😀
