These look VERY nice.. I thought my amp was heavy! lol
I also went with Monolith for the output transformers in my amp, and am very happy. Very nice!
I'm very interested in that glass shield you have over the plate cap. How did you come up / make that?
I love the look of your amp. The glass tops seem to defeat the purpose of the radiator caps though. Does the glass tops get hot?
radiator+safety. there is 2000 volt not a joke 🙂
did not test it yet,but I know it will get hot

I would be tempted to make that glass shield to have more of a vent on the top if it were me.. Though I suppose it depends on if you do run into any heat issues.

Whoa, 2kV ! - maybe put a proximity detection at the amp chassis and use it to trigger a rapid safety shutdown that isolates exposed parts and shunts them to ground ?
yes I will check if it gets to hot
good idea,thank you!
sorry 🙂usa4356, please take your caps key off, it is rude to shout at people (and harder to read)

Beautiful chassis work!
So what do you think made the sonic differences? Just the fresh tubes?

The orginal b+ was about 507v and it was throwing off the regulation and altering the bias between tubes+ plus I was in a learning curve new to tubes in the early 90,s
Im collecting prts for Tim Mellows OTL now for my Quads as a new adventure and a little more insight 25 years later

I built a Curcio driver for my 6BX7 PushPull parallel triode and it's worked fantastic for 15 years.
The original circuit is from GA or 88 or 89. I had the whole collection in Argentina. Mr Avwerk If you want to sell it I am interested in it.
The original diagram was with ECC88, I had to simulate it and work very good. Your work is very good.

Thanx
Yes I have Curcio' s 4 pcb,s that use the 6dj8,s + power boards and this board shown was VTA,s spin off using the 12AT7 (had a bunch of these)
I could easily change back , but for now...,,.
i,ll keep you in mind dady

Preamp... Made one for a friend, one for me. Tortuga LDR module for volume, source switching, balance, etc. Aikido ACF-2 tube buffer output runs 6 or 12SN7.
WONDERFULL JOB!Preamp... Made one for a friend, one for me. Tortuga LDR module for volume, source switching, balance, etc. Aikido ACF-2 tube buffer output runs 6 or 12SN7.
Care to show us the inside?
Gorgeously crafted! More a piece of art than a preamp!
How do you do the USB connection? Love to've that on mine!
Great job!
