Here's pictures of my first tube.. well, hybrid amp.
Sijosae over on headwize designed it... it runs on as low as 24 vdc and can use either a 6922, or the mini 6111 tube I chose, and is really inexpensive.. as in <$70

I'm loving the sound.. it's hard to describe. Yes, it has output capacitors (1000uf!), it has a $4 panasonic pot, but yet it sounds better to my ears than my gilmore.





Oh, the front panel was inspired by Bassivus' WNA amp on page 9 of this thread

Thanks guys

Apparently one of the amps Sijosae built cost him, in Korea, $16 USD!
Headwize is down right now (bandwidth exceeded..), but it was a really cool thread.

I hope this amp becomes popular, because I think it''s really innovative, and I would reccomend it to any diy newbies

Cool amp Eric! I hope to have my 6922-version running in a week or so, I really want to hear how it sounds

/U.

PS: Scott, the schematics and PCB-layout is available from here http://www.headphoneamp.co.kr/bbs/zb...sijosae&no=207 so you don't have to wait until headwize is back up
