Two mono = One stereo amplifier
 

I had two mono amps EL84 in push pull , I had this idea of building a low cost stereo amp , I encapsulated all the transformers in aluminium boxes, a Baxandall tone control circuit was fitted what a difference that made. I am very pleased with the looks and sound of the finished amplifier, the total cost was about £120, excluding labour of course. What to build next I keep thinking KT66's ;D. Mick.

Nice, looks good.

It looks nice, and good to see all of those fuses!

Hi Stephen that is for a good reason , after potting the mains tx's the last thing I wanted is a short on the HT / LT damaging the transformer . Mick.

I like it*, if it were mine I would need at least some of the knobs labeled!

*Despite my comments upon exposed valve audiofile things where style goes over safety, this is a superb example of a proper home brew job. All of mine have exposed valves because it it easier to do, and they look nice.

Thanks for the positive comments I am in the process of getting the labels done , by a friend , Mick.

Neat! I'm kinda inspired to do something similar over the winter.

Re: Two mono = One stereo amplifier
 

Excellent job! Far better than my old cutlery box amp!
Well constructed, neatly wired & (as others have already said) a goodly amount of fuses!
Definite thumbs up, well done.

Looks great - just think what a 12W+12W valve stereo amp will cost new, £700-00+.
