Hi,
for tube fans, in Austria there gives a new headphone amp project:
Praktiker "ITM CapoTube" http://www.praktiker.at/prjkha01.htm

Praktiker Homepage http://www.praktiker.at/

All wrote in german ...

Ohla!

Just went thru the website. All German. All I can decern was 6C41 and ECC803S. I know they are tube codes.

I tried translating and I found that the schematics are in a booklet. I am not certain which. ...

Tomo ("I speak English and Bad English ...")

to sum it up:

you have to buy 2 of their magazines (11/2005 + 1-2/2006 ) for about 4.50 EUR each plus shipping. The magazines contain the schematics and build instructions. They also offer PCBs, kits and completed amps.

They say it's a 3-stage single-ended design, the tubes are NOT configured push-pull. Tubes used are 6C41. They claim the ripple voltage at the output of their prototype to be 0.5V

time to add the google toolbar to your browser tomohiko.Right click anywhere on the page,select "translate into english" and read all the gory details.Actually some damn interesting pages from Germany and translate well to english unlike some of the pages from the orient which seem to drive translation software nuts

[Tomo]

P.S. Hey, Fritz (or Rick). Can ya help me to decypher the pages on PCL 805 - Röhren-Kopfhörerverstärker? Traslation engine gets interrupt in the middle. ...

You NEED TDSL program Tomo.This puppy is invaluable when it come to locating data sheets and/tube substitutions.

Ii use both the online version :

http://tdsl.duncanamps.com/tubesearch.php

and the software version on my computer :

http://www.duncanamps.com/tdslpe/

fast and light.I love programs on a diet and run from "bloatware" like it was a contageous disease

BTW-all of these are highly useful programs and all light weight plus all free
