I would like to present my last effort:
new s.e. amplifier using 100TH driven by 2A3.
Three power supply tubes regulated, one for 100TH using 6C33C and two ( one per channel) using 6EM7 for 2A3 and input stage.
Cabinet made in solid wood machines with CNC with nice copper inserts.

Wow, looks like a brute! Well done! Do you have a schematic? Interesting to see what all those valves are up to.
 
Hi Tony;
Do you have a circuit for the 813 amp?
I built Peter Millets 813 triode amp using 12HG7's as the single driver..
thanks
Phil

i use the same basic circuit as Pete's minus the computer startup...

2 6ck3's in a hybrid fwb bridge provides about 1100volts at standy..

the 11HM7's has it's own B+ supply at about 440volts dc...

the operating point will probably be at 1kv at 80mA at idle...
 
in my case, i added an 0A2 gas reg tube to supply 150 volts to the pentode driver screens, being a separate B+ supply, i felt no need for a regulator to supply this stage...
to me controlling the screen and feeding it off a low impedance source is enough for low distortions, the plates can vary and not have too much effect .....
 
Hello everyone!
Here is the latest creation. SE 6G2_EL36.

crown 810 its good.... i haven't saved up for a better amp tubes i mean....
works well though... good clear sound not stylish and fancy distortion but its baddass
its industrial so running in a house with 3 small full range boxes it never clips... ever
but i can also never get half its power...needs 15volt diver
thing never gets hot, never screws up, very protected...
it was 1 of 40 in a ballpark
i wanna use it one day for subs, not as though it can't run something

in my car
zapco 50C
such good car sq
run it 60% to 100% all day everyday
small amp but detailed
i can stand 50ft away crank it up and it sounds good

I'm using a 300B amp of my own design (see my website for details). It's still sitting in the living room in "DeathTrap" configuration - i.e. as a prototype with exposed wiring. The chassis is slowly coming together. I have one final round of painting left to go, then it's assembly time.

The attached shows the second-to-final configuration using ECC99 as the driver tube. I ended up using the 6N6P. JJ 300B running 400 V, 80~85 mA.
