ferrox168 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 7 tubes on Lampizator Pacific Balance, 24 tubes on Aesthetix Eclipse, 16 tubes on Atma-sphere MP-1, 38 tubes on Atma-sphere MA-1. That's enough to fight off the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggmeister Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Just delivered a new tube amp built for me by Benjamin at https://nanoat.com/ (with a monster output of 4 watts per channel ) Dealing with Benjamin was a breath of fresh air. Finally someone who took the time to listen and recommended an amplifier that suited the speakers I have.

Great communication informing you of what esoteric parts he is installing and why with a scary amount of knowledge and in my case a lot of patience. Looking forward to getting my hands on mine. Hows it sounding Yngvi? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hows it sounding Yngvi? Its sounding very good straight out of the box. I really haven't stopped listening to it. As for Benjamin, he was great to deal with and I agree he has a scary amount of knowledge. He kept me informed at every step of the build and always explained to me what he was doing and why. I wish I met Ben earlier, I would have saved myself so much money time and angst. Its nice to have a bespoke amplifier built to my requirements.

Very happy this design works for you , 6BX7 PP with a lot of silver wire , PSSS silver secondaries & a cluster of rare bespoke parts. Below is a 5B-255M tube used in pairs for PP 25-30 watts next build - STC225 Retro, Lundahl Transformers , small chrome mono blocks, very similar footprint to Quad II chassis , close voicing to the 6BX7 PP.

Peter-E Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Not exactly stereo but still valves. This is a Lamington 15W guitar amp I built from kit. The speakers are my own design/build 10" Eminence + 8" Jensen the designer of the amp is Grant at Valveheaven. I asked him if he would consider a HiFi amp but at this time he's not. Pitty. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter-E Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Are those tube amp kits worth the money? If so what would be the recommended? I'm currently paired to a Pioneer SC-LX76 but if I can find a good kit amp I'd be more than happy to have the TT separate from the digital receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wen Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 @Peter-E, i cannot comment on the value of the kit apart that i am very, very satisfied with mine, i don't have the skills to assemble it, so i had it done from the purchaser. doogie 44 reviewed some speakers in August 2019, he had 5 valve amps, one of them was the Elekit TU-8200, the most expensive was a line magnetic (4.5K), i asked him his opinion, it turned out the Elekit is what he had listened to the most in the past 12 months! you can read the whole review in, Products&reviews +Opinions, under the title Review of TEKTON Design perfect set 15 posted by doogie 44 on August 21 2019 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
