Is the ECC88 (no gold pins? not as good as the E88CC (gold pins) for this application?
I have a number of tubes i'm going to try, including cryoed 6N1P and 6H23Pi -- as well some exotic ECC88 equiv that starts with CV (IIRC -- came out of an AudioNote DAC). Also 6CG7 & 12BH7.

I know! I started collecting parts. I just need to source LM3875TFs. I can order them at Farnell for 5.90 a piece through my university, but I rather order them myself somewhere...
... things are moving
I am sitting at my desk, the schematics nearly ready to post here.
In the meantime, I can show you two details about the d-sub connector, used for the power supply (NEVER connect some computer devices to it
1. Bridge between pin 1 and 3
You can recognize the yellow isolated wire between pin 1 and 3. The purpose of this bridge, is to activate the switch on delay. The NE555 timer and the relay are not grounded, as long as no plug with this bridge is connected. As soon as you connect the plug, the delay count 20 to 30 seconds before delivering power for the LM3875's. Disconnecting the plug immediately switches of the power stage of the amp. Just for the sake of your speakers.
2. How to connect thick cables to 9 pin D-sub
I inserted a thin piece of wire at the end of the thicker litz-wire and soldered it. Attach a piece of shrinking tube and you can solder it to the very small pins safely.
Next postings: the psu-schematic. Followed by a exact grounding and 9pin scheme within the next days.
Have fun!

dont forget: lethal voltages in this project!

Now i need the time to build the amp.
Hanzwillem, did you receive your boards too?
Nope, maybe they're at my parents, I forgot where I had them sent. Anyways, the mailmen in downtown Enschede are always very slow. I just have to have more patience...
