An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

How does it sound and compared to what? I was looking at these tubes for possible build.
How does it sound
The bass sounds tight and well defined. I have chosen a 1k2 OPT that brings the output impedance down without feedback. My speakers start to sound muddy if the Zo from the amps are too high, but that's not the case here.
Output power is 12W+, noise level is ~190µV (mainly 50Hz) measured on the binding posts.
I have just listen to the amps for a few hours so I cant tell much more for the moment..

Nice build,
It would be interesting to see a picture of how you sink 21.8 Watt in the chassis (Cathode)..Is it single resistor?

Rk is 2 x 330R/17W resistors.

The temperature on the surface of the chassis (near to the cathode resistors) is 56 C after playing for 2-3 hours.

tidy work - any reason not to use Dale or equivalent aluminum/finned resistors bolted directly to chassis in such an application?

No particular reason, 330R/17W was what I had..
Nice work jane! PSU schematic available?

THanks. I eagerly await further listening results
My new SE EL34 amp.
What preamp tube did you use?
Also, do you have a good source for those nice old bakkelite knobs?

Preamp tube is a 6021 (12AT7WA) but will be replaced with an ECC801S.
That knob is from an old power supply. I used some polish to clean it.
