Hey Fitz, plan on ever releasing the schematic for your amp so we, the community, can improve it and possible get boards and such out? I hear you are quite impressed with it.
millet max tube hybrid or something a bit more substantial.
you know i was actually looking at a millet last night, this would be a good project for my level then?

heh, yeah i know the edges look less than perfect, i think i scored it with a knife then broke it over the edge of a counter, it was a while ago that i made the case, definately didnt come out as clean as i had hoped. whats the best way to cut plexi anyway, power saw?
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.

That looks great! Your point to point wiring is excellent, I would love to try that on an amp someday. I think wood would look great, I think it looks great on almost any tube amp, so good luck with that. I wish my woodworking skills were better. It would be even better if I had somewhere other than my spare bedroom in my apartment to do my DIY projects... I wonder what the downstairs neighbors think when I fire up the black and decker drill, or the ones across from me think when I solder with the windows open...
Well it's not often that I have a good excuse to build an amp ( not true - build and finish an amp ). My daughter's pre-school is fund raising and requested that people use their talents to help - no further motivation needed than that
I built up a SOHA and have put it up for sale for the cause.
Always a pleasure to listen to this amp , a few pics
should anyone wish to contribute to the cause - donations welcomed :allteeth: ..dB

I doubt anybody would actually want to make boards of my changes to the PPAv2 circuit.

I live in NYC in an apartment. I know the feeling. Key tools for me are a drill, jig saw, dremel tool and a router. The jig saw can get loud and router is always loud. I try to keep the loudest stuff happening while it is still light out. Then again, there is always some construction going on so people are use to the noise.
just finished my largest project so far: a pga2310-based preamp with headphone stage. my main goal was to support blind A/B listening tests, hence I got to utilize a microcontroller and spend a large part of the effort on the software
