K8011/K8010 PCB build thread

Basic spec of the k8010 .. this may be good or poor but to me I like the sound quality

Ok .. my new build but is work in progress (only one channel shown)
this will be going into a case once I have found one suitable

Hello

So for a while now I have been trying to make a k8011 k8010 version with the valves showing on top plus to give easy maintenance ... also, trying to fit into an existing hifi2000 (modushop) case .. as there is only so much metal fabrication one can complete in the shed.

I normally make versions of this design in a fully enclosed rack case as there are lots of versions out there to purchase from the normal suppliers.
Hopefully the pics make sense of what I am trying to achieve

so rear panel completed, this is a generic design that I can use for other designs so keeps costs down

The main internal work looks like this .. houses the power transformer and output transformer and terminals for front and rear connections.

Both the front panel and rear panel can be removed and the complete amplifier chassis slides out and removed for repairs and mods etc. this is why I made a test bench rig examples in the historic posts.
