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
that looks easy to build and cheap, were can i find a guide ?

I like the looks of your wooden panels (PPA/Steps/Glassman diamond buffers combo), which enclosure do you use? It looks quite wide.
Cheers
He-he, a question on something 13 pages back, wasn't expecting that.
Good old hammond 1455 series, R22 and T22 I think. Each big enough for two Eurocards side by side. The end panels are made out of some oak I found laying around. Completely unfinished - Didn't fancy taking out all the panel-mount compenents to stain/wax/polish the wood so left it bare.

Thanks shiggins, I was thinking of recasing my amp into a wider case with wooden panels but can't find any retailers that sells the R22 and T22. Did you get yours in the UK or ?.
When you have a chance give us a picture of the headamp lit up (new setup). I'd love to see it. BTW it looks sweet....nice job. Also can you tell us what caps you used that fit so nicely in the H65.

The first page does show it. Keep in mind, the LED is stuck between one C4 and the pot. It isn't exactly going to make the whole case glow like it's been nuked.

The only trick is using 10mm diameter caps, so you can get them short enough. I probably used 470/16s in the Panasonic FC line, 12.5mm high. C4 is present, and isn't tall enough to be a problem. If I used the recommended MKP 416 C1 caps, they would probably fit, too, but I didn't need 'em.
