Once I hear it - I will post a review. Should be here by Friday - Sat. at the latest.

Should mention that uses 6L6 tubes and made for the HD580 and its 300Ohm resistance.

Nice! Can't wait to hear about it.

Crazy man, just crazy. Should be fun. Interesting choice of caps.

 

[kelvinz]

looks pretty cool ! Who built it ?

 

[-=Germania=-]

I actually had a guy I met from ebay build it for me. VERY REASONABLE PRICE and he has been very good with contact. A+ guy as far as I am concerned.

I'll post his email once I receive the unit and do a test.
This guy builds tube amps on the side for extra cash. Mostly small speaker tube-amps, but I asked him to do this special. %>

Nice! How does the 6L6 sound?

 

[kamal007]

how much does it cost?

 

[-=Germania=-]

I had him do it for ~$100 -but this is a special thing - you would have to ask him and things would probably be dependent on what you ask for.

He has a ton of metal enclosures apparently.
I specifically asked for wood and I know that he does have other wood enclosures.

I will tell you how it sounds once I receive it.

The tube sets are:
2 - Sovtek 6L6WXT 6L6GC tubes
1 - Sylvania 6J6 twin triode

The Sovtek have very, very low noise and high detail. Plenty of power in em.
Plus, replacement tubes are relatively easy to find.

Interesting caps indeed.

That's my kind of humidor! However, I'd be keeping my Cubans far from it

6L6?

those are in the same family as the EL34/6550/kt88/kt90 right?

Roll KT88's in there! Boom Boom!

 

[-=Germania=-]

Wow,

This guys has prolly more tubes than any of us.

That is just part of what he has.

 

[Skylab]

Hmmm...that picture makes me feel better about my closet...

Skylab, what amp is that, on the very top shelf? Looks like it's got a pretty beefy transformer.
