My humble home made SET amps are still my favourites, even the ones based on much more common valves like 6B4G and 6V6. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These ones look amazing too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can use either a 46 or 47 type power tube. It uses the 717a as a driver and it can use a 5ar4, 5ra4, GZ34, 5r4GW, or 274b as a rectifier without any changes. It is 13"d x13"w x18" tall and produces just under 2wpc and weighs roughly 40 pounds. Edited February 4, 2021 by charles hidalgo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charles hidalgo Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 I think once these new crossovers get some hours on them these things will open up to reveal even better sound than they already are producing. Really nice so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlr8or Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Forget the background toys I love the foreground chair from the 1960's with the orange velour. With all those thermoinic devices you have there that's some real gas of a chair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles hidalgo Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 All done and setup... I have wanted to do one of these correctly for a long time.

charles hidalgo Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Thank you John at Lynwardwoodworks.com/ for helping make my project a very beautiful and special one! Audio-Technica LP1240 with bypassed internal phono section and Cardas cable wiring from the tonearm leads directly to the RCA's. An Audio-Technica cartridge on modified stock arm. Black Diamond feet between the TT and neoprene layered MDF internal base with kiln dried domestic hardwood that are at a max of 8% moisture content for the rest of the plinth. This was made from 3/4" curly maple inlayed with curly Claro walnut. Joints are mitered and biscuit joined to add strength. The very bottom and inner base of the the turntable sits on is 3/4" MDF and the base has threaded 1/4 20 inserts for my choice of footers which are currently MapleShade. Copper platter mat and record stabilizer from Sien at SPH. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
