I just completed a build of the Kevin Gilmore All-Triode Tube amplifier. It's got a solid state power supply and uses PTP wiring for the tube section. The case was made from scratch using aluminum that I ordered online.

This is my first amplifier project (besides the prototype for the same amp).

I've still got some metal work to do and may try to anodize this myself. I'm also going to add some wood side panels. The hard part will be picking the color for the case and the type of wood to use on the sides.

Here are some pictures (functional but not totally done).

I used only the connector portion of a slim ipod plug from Qables.

I put the plug into the ipod, slid the white adapter over it, then used hot glue to attach the plug to the adapter. This worked great, the plug does not move at all and is in the perfect position/depth.

For this reason you probably can't use any other ipod generation, not sure though. Classics and 30/60 videos might work.

Ha ha, quite a cheeky little design. Does the cmoy tin support the weight of the ipod ok?




[quote=Punnisher;4006807]I made an ipod docking station today, since there doesn't seem to be anything with a simple line out on the market.

Total cost was about 15 dollars for everything including the ipod dock connector.

The switch on the side is for selecting which 5vdc input you want, either ac adapter or USB. I'll add a usb port and a USB data on/off switch in the near future. Enjoy.

no need to quote with all the pictures. Perferrably none, but if you're quoting a post from a couple pages ago, please include only one. We've already seen them...no need to post them all again. thanks
