6AQ5 Tube Stereo Project
I am including an image of my third amp, a Stereo amp project. SE, 4 watts a side. 12AU7 - 6AQ5 on a Hammond steel chassis. Phono plug and 1/8th jack inputs, for normal or digital input devices. Output is a headphone jack or R and L Binding Posts for 8 Ohm speakers. R and L volume knobs that seem to change the tone a bit too. Power switch and Green crystal lamp. Using a 6X4 full wave rectifier, and all in one Can Cap. This is my first post on this forum and I am glad to be part of the conversation.
My name is Bruce, and I have been building amps for 2 years.
Cheers

Is that gap in the corner standard stuff for a Hammond chassis? In this picture I don't see any gap.
I'd like to know because with gap I don't buy, without gap I do.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

The chassis I used is a Hammond Manufacturing 1441-24 Heavy Duty Chassis Case 20 Gauge Steel, 12x8x3. New old stock, probably not available any more. I will be making a faceplate for the front of my amp. The sides will be faced with maple, no back plate.
Thanks for your words of encouragement.

I can't remember
It was from an internet diy valve amp
Store the chassis was originally stainless
But I didn't like the look

Bit OT: Nice speakers Goodlagger, I have the same driver in Zigma's enclosures, would you mind share your project in this thread?

I'm searching for a smaller enclosure for them!
Thank you very much
Very Nice! I'm currently building a SE 807 amp. and just ordered the same speakers. how do they sound together?
They look like you could make a DIY copy from industrial downspout pipes quite easily.
