TubeLab SimpleSE Buildup begins
Started getting the parts together for my first buildup. The Tubelab SimpleSE seems like a reasonable place to begin. It's been years since my last tube adventure - an old HW-100 ham rig (not a typo - it was the forerunner to the much more famous HW-101, but you'd be hard pressed to tell them apart).
I'm really in awe at the amps that I've seen in this forum - you guys certainly set a high standard for excellence!
I'll give fair warning before plugging the box in the first time
I wouldn't want anybody startled by a sudden flash over the horizon...

Thanks, SY. For now, it's a straight SimpleSE buildup with the only change being that I will use two preamp tubes - one for each channel. The idea is to build a "test bed" for further experimentation, possibly using the (at present) unused triode in each preamp tube in later modifications.
The GIFs I posted were originally part of an April Fool thread - but the fool is me, it turns out... Been a long winter, I lost a month someplace (it's only March 1 today)
Still... it's another option to play with later!
And dang - now I gotta come up with a different April 1 thread!

Sweet, Ketje! And SOOO much easier to read than the gifs I posted!
So very much cooler (or hotter!) than a puny little LM-741.
(Mods - I hope this isn't too "off-topic" for the forum. My rationalization would be "Hey, it's an amplifier and with suitable feedback would indeed function as an audio amp. Not that it would be a good idea to do one this way - but it's another glimpse into the world of Tube amplifiers.
Hope you guys don't mind.

Easy !!!
The Philbricks (and doubtless many others) *did* plug into an 8 pin socket
