The second prototype - now enclosed. Soon I'll know if everything works. The boards work individually, but haven't been tested together 🙈

Started testing with the EF36 (I'm lazy - it fits in a relay socket). Tubes covered in black paint don't glow much ;)

A home hi-fi stereo set plays the album mentioned in the post
Giving the Audible Illusions pre a run for its money with some oboe! First stereo press of Yusef Lateef’s “Live At Pep’s”, a great towering giant of an album. #JazzSky #HiFi #tubeaudio

Yet another amp project... I work on a lot of projects simultaneously, because I always run into a lack of parts, or something I have to look into. This is an SE tube power amp. The power transformer isn't fitted yet, as it weighs a ton...

Mostly assembled board for a tube power amp
Revision B coming...
First version of the board had a couple of oopsies, so I decided to make a revised board, before completing the project.

Tube experiment time again. This time a driver stage for an SE power amp. I'm measuring at 65Vp out. Again spice did not predict the best operating point... The lowest THD I saw was 1.17%, but it looks nicer at 1.57% (pictured). The tube is a 6EA7/6EM7 TV vertical tube. #TubeAudio #DIY

The new operating points of the input stage, did improve matters - slightly...
4% THD at 1W output isn't exactly great. But compared to 0.14W at 1% THD it is an improvement. Distortion halved in round numbers. So it's not just the input stage that was causing the issues.

Built a test version of the input stage/phase splitter, to figure out why it clips so fast...

Tube preamp in a lid-less rack mount box
Installed the last parts. Now I have to take it home to finish the software, and test the hardware...

Getting ready for the first power up of a circuit running on 600VAC, is always a bit scary...
Nothing went bang :)

Got the schematic for this project drawn, as the parts are starting to assemble themselves...
It's point to point wired - it's only the heater supply from the previous post, that's on a PCB. Does it work? Time will tell ;)

Aluminium plate with two transformers (and a few parts) installed.
Black aluminium boxes now covering the transformers.
Transformers (and covers) installed...
It's going to be an all metal tube amp. 6SF5, 6J5, 1619 and 5T4.

Aluminium plate with a circuit board and a few connectors
Close-up of circuit board
Circuit board with heatsink
Time for some weekend DIY... Another amp project coming along. Some parts near the edge of the board, need a bit of cooling. So I have a small heatsink for that - that I forgot to add the space for on the top plate 🤬
That's what happens when you work on projects on and off for months ;)

Two assembled PCBs
Closeup on regulator ICs
Tonight's project. Heater supplies for 300B tubes. Regulated using "ultra low noise" LT3045 regulator ICs.
