That amp is still a favorite. Some of my early work with tulip poplar but that piece had some spalting that I tried to match with inlaid ebony and ebony splines. I still have the associated meter box, in it I attempted to wrap the meters with ebony a bit, just the opposite of the dual pots. I also used tiger maple top and bottom on the meter box. Often I will pick up a board and know what the amp will be, it is a simple process most of the time.

I use them on my personal amps and prefer them. Tubes can vary a bit on each channel and it is a way of compensating, also the ability to hear each channel equally becomes a factor with some people. Sorry for being self-centered but I am fairly proud of that amp.

Oh fine. Just fine. I invented Tiger maple, so what do *I* get for a chassis? Balsa. Or is it masonite? Harrumph.

In the top pic, is that a pair of #76?

I overspent on yours, it is double wall cardboard, I just could not get the single wall to support the weight. I believe you invented the sideways amp, I believe park rangers are paid to keep you away from trees. As I recall you borrowed my idea for mini shelves and had the dumb luck to buy some tiger maple to complete your nefarious plan.

I want to say those are early Sylvania 6j5's in the ST style.

Well one might consider the #76 to be a predecessor.

Everyone knows Amazon boxes are single wall. Even without opening it up ('cause I promised not to) I can tell. You must have used a lot of glue.

But just wait until I finish the new chassis out of virgin unobtanium. With flashing LED's. And a fountain.

Yikes are you really going for trailer park chic? My hat is off to you, well it would be if I were wearing one, just pretend dammit.

Oh please. The current (and PC) nomenclature is Relocatable Domicile Estates. I *did* take the wheels off as they were creating some weird resonance with the Bifrost 2. Go figure.

I am sure you are right, I am gaining a lot of respect for your tube knowledge.

Maybe you could up the quality a bit and make his amp out of strand board?
