Victor,
I would like to thank you for your encouragement and advice, both in making an informed purchase decision, and during the construction of my new TU-8600S amplifier.
I was pretty hesitant going in, but I jumped in with both feet and never looked back. The packaging of the kit was excellent. The manual was amazing. The only way anything could have gone wrong was if I failed to follow directions.
After much lead bending, soldering, trimming, checking & rechecking, etc. I had a fully populated PCB. After comparing the completed PCB to the floorplan, I assembled the amp without covers, installed the tubes, plugged it in, and flipped the switch... No smoke!!! So far, so good. I then check all of the voltages and they were all within spec.
The last test was to hook up a pair of speakers. Music!!!
Again, I cannot thank you enough.
I will attach photos as soon as I have everything buttoned up.
I am looking forward to my next Elekit project with VK Music.
Sincerely,
Lew
