I think it is momentary. I didn't need to build a circuit. As it happened, I got a SMPS from someone that had a broken ext HD. When I cut off the end plug that was also broken, I found 4 wires. 2 gave me the 12v power for the amp and another 2 gave off 5v so all I had to do was add a resistor in line. When the switch is pushed in, it is much less bright so I just made it so the pushed out position is on. Basically the LED is always on when the amp is plugged in.

I like how the case turned out but it seemed to take a long time to make it. In the future I probably won't spend the same time on a case. Too bad my next builds will likely house better stuff electronically. I plan on making a SOHA II and gainclone. I think I will just get a black hammond case and a black vandal switch. It should still look nice but not as work intensive.

When I wire up my Starving Student Millet, I will have to do it differently. There is a pic on the bottom for the wiring tabs. Here is the link for it:

Stereo buffers on a protoboard. Simple stuff with BD139/140 outputs and diode biasing. There is an attempt at a DC offset servo in between. Can you spot the deliberate mistake(!) in this pic?

Anyway tried it out as a Soha (mk 1) buffer and it sounds pretty good, quite bright but not unpleasant. A bit of extraneous/stray noise mind you.

Funny thing about the servo, once I'd wired it's inputs and outputs the right way round. With it offset is 30+100mV. Without it it's 1+3mV.

since you asked, it is an 832 and here is a photo of the amp:

Here's one of my 6AU6/6AQ5 amp too:

Cool amps!

There was a talk about MOSFET amps and orthos in this Ortho thread awhile back so I figure I can showoff my new MOSFET amp in this thread as well. It sounds awesome with all of my headphones, but my YH-1, HP-50S and surprisingly QP85

really wake up with this amp. I good friend made it for me, as I am not very handy with the soldering iron.

Linky to pics and simplified schematic

F2D , you are leaving out all the juicy tidbits - folk want to know about the gold nuggets in your mosfets ..dB


ps said this before , but seriously cool. Those transistors alone command respect


@ kuroguy - excellent craftmanship

Thanks a ton. The transistors are indeed very interesting, but most importantly they sound great.

Nice! I really want to build one of these guys.

My most recent work in progress…
I just did a quick try to see if everything fit in my favourite enclosure.
Luckily... so far, so good.

Very elegant as always, Ferrari. I'm a huge fan of the rounded corners.

Thanks MoodySteve.
There is indeed something with the rounded corners, which I also like it a lot.

Hello,
Forum newbie here. I've been on headwize for a long while so it's about time I posted here. Some of the beautiful amps in this thread really make mine look basic.

Ruggedized SOHA:

See-through CMoy:

A few of my tubes. The 6067 is compatible with the SOHA and sounds quite nice.

Thanks bhjazz!
I was manage to complete the case work & re-testing of this amp today.
It sounds by far superior to any hybrid amps I have ever built in the past.

I know its been said before but, geez you do some beautiful work. You are an inspiration to do the job properly.
