Please do, always interested to see what other folks are building!

And I know, I know, I should be banned until I finish my Millett...

Just one (slightly blurry) pic for overview at the moment.

I didn't want to scare anyone (including myself

), so I just opened the boxes. Not shown are a few more power amp projects in various stages of undress, my M3-board (which I still need a few components for) and a number of other things. I'll be adding more to the "collection" in a week or so after I get another shipment of parts from www.reichelt.de

It's been a while since I realized that this stopped being about "good sound" a long time ago

/U.

EDIT: Oh, and I have speaker parts/projects as well

Hello,

Was wondering what project that is with the 3 tubes on that PCB??

Looks like the mini tube amp that digi01 put together a while ago. No?

BTW, amazing set of DIY projects you've got there, Nisbeth!

I'm also interested in the amp with 3 tubes, mind shedding some more light on this mystery?

Well, no!

It is a Morgan-Jones, but I didn't think digi's layout was compact enough so I did my own

It's a half-eurocard (8x10 cm) because that's what I had to work with in the free version of Eagle. The board is finished but not tested. I haven't had the PSU-board made yet and my original plan was to use a custom transformer for it (mainly to keep the small size and because it was necessary to connect the heaters in series so it requires 19V instead of 6.3V). Unfortunately my transformer-source dried up and so the project is at a bit of a stand-still while I consider alternative PSU-options

/U.

Would you still have the Eagle files on hand, and maybe like to share with me

 

[Nisbeth]

Sure, PM me an email address and I'll send them to you later today

Well, I figured I'd post up in here again...

The Twins are done!

Here's a shot w/ Nate's NAD CD player for some testing after wrapping up the case work...
The top:
PPA v2 + STEPS
The bottom:
M3 + STEPS
Both in ParMetal 20 Series cases, NKK switches, Cardas RCAs & (temporary) THL knobs.

And many thanks to Nate for everything he did to make this happen

All that's left is to find a permanent home for the Millett and I'll be in business!

Are those Par-Metal cases 12x8x3?

Nope, 16x12x3 so they stack well w/ standard components.

I like the beanie Babies in the background!

and so this post actually has some meaning, why is there a "floating" orange led comming off the PSU?
