Possession is 9/10ths of the law..

BTW, did you find a 21mm bit? They seem rare over here.

10mm 330uF low impedance caps are in (Nichicon UPW1H33MPD.) I am listening now and confirm CFCubed's and Adamus findings. They are a tight squeeze (may need some heatshrink on 'em in your build.)

Please email or PM me if you got a kit and would like the cap upgrade and are in the CONUS.

RDS and NUX have volunteered to send caps to Canadian and Australian kit purchasers. Email or PM me and I will coordinate with them.

I am super swamped at work so it may be a few days before these go out. Thanks for all who pitched in to solve this (really, minor ) issue...

it was minor, but then we are a picky bunch.

This is a really goog little amp. Been enjoying it over the last few days. having the bility to just pull a tube, plug one and in and go is GREAT fun.

Thanks waitrob for the kit service!

here's a pic of my CTH made from old leftovers, old top plate I had made 4-5 years ago for another unfinished project, bit of old walnut, computer speaker grille and other sundry bits I had in the scrap bin.

I still need to wire in the new pot, RCAs, power and fix the headphone sockets in place. Make a base frame, add feet and await my black knob from Hong Kong, but you can see the basic idea.



I call it 'MOAR DARK'

smeggy - Gorgeous & creative (re-)use of materials... As we've come to expect from you

Looking forward to completion of zkool448's work of art as well.

Although galleries (like amb's) may be hard to setup & maintain, they are neat to peruse.

smeggy, love the design -- Very niiiice!! That top plate (steel/metal plate) is nicely machined and like the bling'ed tubes

Mine's still under construction, hope to have it done around this time next week.

Just curious as to what everybody's 6.3V voltage is at? Mine is low (measured it last weekend but didn't have time to do anything other than take a quick measure), going to change R3 to 7.5K which should bring it up to 6.3V.

I believe mine is at 6.1x volts
