Yes Lot of photos http://postimg.org/gallery/4b4au5w6/   especcially http://postimg.org/image/cwjob0ggl/ huge white DIY cables (twisted wires + shield + fiber tube):)

Yes I use Tungsram E88CC (red label, mil/industrial, 1965, 1968 years) and USSR 6N6P (1978 year) Regal mod (for 6922/6DJ8) applied.   Also I modify heater wiring (like "star" topology) with each tube heater wires shielded. All heater shields connected with main star ground bolt.

No yet. I haven`t DT880 at this moment I`m waiting for delivery.   You wrote about totally removed NFB (and NFB potentiometer too) or using minimum NFB with DT 880. Are any sound difference really BIG? No NFB vs Minimum NFB

I mean sound improvement with DT880. :) At least I would be surprised if Grado SR80i better then Beyerdinamic DT 880 (600 Ohm) with Bijou.

Hello, all   Any activity with Bijou? Or summer time... My Bijou finally "pre-burned". I`m waiting for DT800 600 Ohm. Will compare with Grado 32 Ohm.   Good Luck to all -- WBR, Victor

Just find very interesting parts http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/C4ATDBW5600A30J/399-6223-ND/2783185 http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/C4ATFBW5400A3NJ/399-5949-ND/2704603   Probably will be usefull for you. Look at datasheet (VERY low ESR and DF)   + "100 USD" Champion :)...

00940, Thank you for the answer. I decide to roll caps not now... First I need change my headphones to high impedance (DT880 600 Ohm I think) No chance to get more performance with Bijou and Grado SR80i.   -- With best Wishes, Victor   P.S. For info: Bijou output capacitor (C5) rated...

Thank you. I think Audyn a good choice (and available) I think WIMA MKP10 available with 47 uF/400VDC... Need check stock.   BTW What is a difference between Audyn QS and Q4 and Q6? I compare tech. spec. I think they all provide very close parameters (DF, for example)

Thanks 1st lot 65$ for delivery 2nd not available for delivery to my country.   Oil caps are not critical for me. Also I can try to find them near my location.   -- Regards, Victor

Hello,   Some Bijou builders use Motor Run Capacitors for output DC-blocking caps.   What is a best choice for Motor Run Capacitors? Could you recommend some part numbers, please?   -- Regards, Victor

I`m curently use Grado SR80i... Yeah... not a good choice for Bijou. But with low impedance headphone Bijou great too...   Will collect money for DT880 600 Ohm. and newest (not designed yet) γ3 DAC form AMB Labs.

  Flatbroker,   Try connect Volume and NFB shafts to star ground point. This can help.

No switching electronics near Bijou? LED lamps, etc.

Hello, Nice build.   Uniform noise? 50/100 (60/120) Hz? New tubes? If yes you need 50-100 hour for "preheating". Try connect Volume and NFB shafts to star ground point. On my build noise disapear after some time (was very very low level at max volume) Shafts are not connected with...

Hello. 1) Not all outlets polarized 2) There are many outlets in Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. which Not polarized.   3) I think you can findout in UL and CSA standard. I haven`t direct info, but you can see Delta 06AB2D Power entry module datasheet...

Hello, Johnthurston   My congrats with progress on Bijou. I just finished my build way :) I think you will be happy with buid and sound   I can`t understand why you need bleed resistor. For safety reason? With 100k resistor you need some minutes for discharge PSU. 250/100k = 2.5 mA. If...

Thanks BTW - open design for my build was your idea!   -- Regards Victor

Hi   My Bijou done! Amazing sound. Need listen more... need some tube burning (50 hours I think)   Will inform later.           THANK TO ALL WHO HELP ME WITH THIS AMP!!!   Bulk photos: http://postimg.org/gallery/4b4au5w6/   == With Best Wishes Victor

Hello There are many Bijou builds with "close case" style. I think without any problem`s.   -- Regards, Victor.   P.S. You can use different MOSFET with lowest Rds(on) and bigger heatsinks   See link for MOSFET`s replacement...

Hello, Funch Very interesting and original build. I hope the sound is a simply perfect!   -- Regards,   Victor

Hello,   I use two wires cutted from old PC power supply unit (AKA "silver box)". I twist 2 wires and place into shield (removed from other cable - coaxial or shielded RG45) Finally I place twisted wires with shield into fiberglass tube. (2nd cable on my photo from post #4113)   Now I...

Hi Nice wires... But I can`t wait for delivery. I want to finish Bijou ASAP   For B+ I use custom cable (acoustic cable + fiberglass isolating tube) 1st on photo 2nd - heater wires (2x twisted AWG -20 in shield) 3rd - chassis ground (Like 1st without white fiberglass tube)      ...

In progress

Thanks Bhjazz. I order "Bijou" labels at local company that provide laser cutting. Like that http://www.ponoko.com/laser-cutting I think google can help you find company near you.   But really my labels have a "cheap" appearance (I spent only 3$ for 5 labels) Probably I will do experiment...
