Same here. I got mine off eBay, item 371015023668 Works perfectly. No noise at all.

Why get a cheap and noisy switching power supply and then regulate it with the LM7824? Build the whole power supply straight yourself. Get this and a small toroidal transformer and put the whole thing in a nice enclosure. Done. If you want to be more into DIY the same eBay seller also sells...

Thanks. That's a Hammond clone that I got from Mammoth Electronics http://www.mammothelectronics.com/4S1590BBT-p/500-1004.htm

Here is my Fred_fred 12AU7 SSMH. Sorry for the bad picture I need to take better ones in good light! That thing sounds great. I am most impressed if I say so myself.

Thanks. It works fine. No noise, no issue at all. I did not listen to it a lot yet but as far as I can tell it sounds very nice. It's the IRFI510 (Digikey IRFI510GPBF-ND). Same as an IRF510 but in an insulated package so no need to play with mica insulators :D

Here is what it looks like so far waiting for its enclosure ;)

Hey Fred_fred, Just finished my build but I still need to put everything in an enclosure. Sounds sweet! Quick question : I am using the exact same heatsinks as the ones shown in the pictures but they get real hot. After 5 minutes it's impossible to touch them. I'm guessing this is normal? Any...

Thanks for the explanations. I prefer your updated version. More elegant!

Lovely little beast Roberval! I did not try the 12AX7. Maybe one day. I have too many ongoing projects! May I ask about your amp? What's that big cover on top? Transformer and power supply? Also what are those two things (LEDs? Outputs?) in front of the switch?

Sure you need two tubes and that's what you get with a 12AU7 :cool: It's a dual triode tube so essentially two tubes in one. Cheers!

I just finished building the NP-100V12 by Rogers Gomez and I though I could share a few pics. That's an excellent little amp as far as I can tell. And it's even cheaper to build than the SSMH. Comments are more than welcome! ;)

There is no need to twist the wires imho. Cramped wires are not a problem neither. It's going to be easier to build all together if you use stranded wires.

Something went wrong? I really enjoy building P2P. It's like a challenging 3D puzzle and you can be very creative solving it.

Just got the boards and they're very nice. Thanks Fred Fred! :cool:

Howdy, No offense and with all due respect that's quite a poor soldering job. You have shorts where they're not supposed to happen and on the other hand some of the leads are barely soldered. Not sure what kind of advice I can give you but I would start again from scratch and have a friend who...
