Re: Stereo Valve amp
To my ears, they sound fine. I don't think I could honestly tell the difference between these and others, evidenced by the fact I have two different pairs in the stereo amp, and they sound fine.

Re: Stereo Valve amp
Superb bit of construction Steve! Top marks .
One question. Looking at the pictures in your first post, I see the heater wiring is very neatly twisted and laid out.....but where is the heater supply to the left-hand EF86? Rich (very chilly in Brugge at the moment)!

Re: Stereo Valve amp
Looking again at your pictures Steve, just a wonderfull bit of hand wiring! I was allways in awe of the people who used to make the old stuff which was all hand wired. It looked really quite beautifull, definately an art form allmost. How long did it take you to make the amp?

Re: Stereo Valve amp
I think it took about a 3 weeks elapsed time, mainly because of metal bashing and then paint spraying and drying (I painted the transformer housing and end-caps too). I can't easily say how much effort went into it but probably about a weeks' worth.
Good fun! |
