  Very nice Glenn.  Looks great.
 
Is that a type 80 rectifier?

It is a AZ4 keeping all the tubes The European side contact.

  EL3N  Amp
 
A new amp EL3N driving a EL3N this amp has not been burned in only been running since noon but I think
it sounds as good as the 300B. Of course similar transformers. In a tube amp the output transformer has
the biggest affect on the sound.
 

 

 
How's the pricing going to be on this one?  I know you spent a mint on Lundhal transformers...

Another great amp Glenn, congrats. Very cool that it sounds similar to 300B, EL3N are so much more affordable, great you are building these amps. Woo instead is building the WA22SE that is rumored to be $5k, still using 5U4 rectifier and 6sn7s, filling that amp up with top tubes will take the price to $6-7k no problem, insane.

The transformers make the amp expensive. They are similar to the ones in your amp and the same price. Just a different primary impedance
and different air gap in the core other wise the same.

I will have to sell it for a minimum of $2K

Glenn, will you be selling this unit you built?

 

[2359glenn]

Glenn, will you be selling this unit you built?

Maybe after I get parts to build another one.

No tube rolling with this amp other then different brands or the older EL3 will work.

Probably not the type of amp for gibosi hahaha but good to just plug in and play and not to be concerned about how tube a or tube b or tube c sounds in X, y or z combo

Looks as great as I thought it would Glenn, can't wait to hear your impressions after it has burn in some

It is the same chassis as your amp small just heavy with the output transformers on it.
Now Lucy took it over and is listening to Adele CD.

Glenn,
What is the output power of this EL3N amp?

 

[Rossliew]

Glenn,
What is the output power of this EL3N amp?

Glenn mentioned in the Feliks Audio thread that's it's 1w into 32ohms in triode mode and 4w in pentode mode.

 

[lukeap69]

What are triode mode and pentode mode?

He built this one for himself, but Glenn is too nice for his own good sometimes so I'm betting it'll get sold to somebody so they won't have to wait as long.
