Millett "Starving Student" hybrid amp
Well, there's been mention that the market has been depleted of 19J6 valves. There's a few on eBay but they cost a fortune and it can't be garaunteed that they are matched; they aren't sold in pairs. Many users here have had much success building a variation with 12AU7 valves and their variants...- sanguinicus

Millett "Starving Student" hybrid amp
I love this. I'm thinking of building the 12AU7 version. Man, the price of valves have gone up in the last year or so (I usually get guitar amp valves). I have a question about integrating a power supply within the box. Is this recommended? If so, which power supplies do everyone use? Does...- sanguinicus

Headphone amp with speaker output
Looks nice, I've done some tube stuff before. But I'd prefer solid state to keep the size (and cost) down. Well what about 'adding' speaker out to the commonly available diy designs?

Headphone amp with speaker output
Ok, I'll address these queries in order: I'd like it to power speakers for my study room. Basically, flexibility to switch between speakers and phones. Probably not more than 20W at 8 ohms. Just bookshelf speakers really. Directly driving passive speakers. All the amplification...- sanguinicus

Headphone amp with speaker output
Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster. I'm basically after a good quality, supreme value for money ($100-$150) headphone amp for computer use (got a decent soundcard with decent dac). My only requirement is that it be able to switch output from headphones to speakers. So ideally...- sanguinicus
