I think this is the first version of the Torpedo amp but i am not sure. It would work for a while then no more sound. Would leave it off for days and try again and the same thing would happen. Placed it in storage and deciding to sell As-is/ Parts. Will ask that buyer pays shipping.

The only hum i hear is during startup but after that it fades away and it is very quiet.

Ha, as tempting as that sounds i'll stick with a DMM instead.

Got mine finished up yesterday and have been rolling between the 5694,5884 and 6J6. I now hear the imaging that you were talking about long ago tomb and is something i have been lacking in my other amps that i've previously owned.   Now that i've seen jdkJake's case i'm tempted to take it...

Mine just came in. The care in packaging everything was great. Thanks tomb and dsavitsk.

Good news!. Excited to hear how it sounds and even bought a new solder station to replace the one that magically disappeared on me.

Placed my order so hopefully i am one of the lucky few. Been looking forward to this amp build for quite some time but bad news is i misplaced my soldering station and can't seem to find it.    

Same here. Ready to get this one on day one.

I'm loving the construction of it and tube rectified too nice! You said no tube rolling but we all know that wont be the case for long so let us know how it changes. Congrats Earl.

Was 27 at the time and my first intro into tubes goes by the name of a Singlepower PPX3 SLAM.Don't have it anymore but i would love to own it again one day.

I think we can toss this article in the " I spent a load of money on hddvd and now i'm mad" category.Don't these guys have better things to write about?

Turn off your tube amp when not in use.They can get quite hot and who knows what kind of damage can occur.

Yesterday i posted the formula for eternal youth then went to bed only to forget what it was.Oh well no big loss i guess.

Only troubles i have had are accidents like PS1's falling from a table only to turn into 3 different pieces after . Oh wait no i have also had one RS-1's cup come apart but that was not my fault .
