Just finished up my Bottlehead Seduction this evening and listening to it now

 

That's a beautiful amp, congrats! Is that a phono ground on the input side?

Thanks Yes indeed it's a phono ground. You can read a little more about the Seduction Phono Pre here if you have any interest: http://www.bottlehead.com/store.php?crn=220&rn=429&action=show_detail
 
It's a nice easy build. The only mildly tricky part was the C4S upgrade, as a few of the through holes are a little too close to each other so you have to be careful not to bridge any gaps around the transistors.

That's interesting as it could be used as a phono stage in a pinch, are the output RCA's amplified or pass-through?
 
edit: never mind, it is a phono stage, not a headphone amp!

Finished this one a couple of weeks ago. It's pretty much a standard build using AD8610 opamps. I splashed out a bit on a TKD pot, the amp is very quiet.
 

 
Case is made from reconstituted 5mm aluminium for the top, bottom, front and back that I've brushed and clear-coated. Sides are made from galvanized steel, alu angle and wood from a chopping board.

Nice build, meme! How did you fix side walls?

 
 

 

[.Sup]

beautiful work meme! Are the wooden side panels glued onto the aluminium?

Thanks guys!
 
The wood sides are attached with 1/2" screws from inside through the steel brackets - just so if I get bored with them I can swap them for something else, e.g. darker wood.

Very nice build, meme!!
Nice contrast of materials...

So might as well show some of mine... think I never posted them on Head-Fi.
 
C3G headphone amp built in 2004, my first ever tube amp. I didn't know anything about tubes then,
and had to learn to read a schematic first...

 

 
 
Was based on s schematic from one Mr. Siemens (not THE Siemens) but changed to tube rectification
and the massive power supply. Flipped the switch and it worked... (wiping sweat off...).
 

 
Got me convinced that C3G triode wired is one fine tube...

 

[stixx]

Next was the Morgan-Jones headphone amplifier that was very popular on Headwize (too bad that the site is still down

).
 
Was supposed to be much cheaper to build than the C3G to recover from the hole in my wallet

...
 

 
Also converted to tube rectification and later to LED bias in the first stage.
Was a nice sounding amp but never really convincing or "magic", the only amp I sold..
