Yesterday I mentioned that
@sam6550a could most likely take a group of parts I sent him including tubes and build a headphone amp, I realized after the fact that
@AudioGal could most likely do the same thing because of her experiences with tubes.
The last time I did this I was given some obscure Russian tubes and transformers and the research took about a week before I could get started. I would not do that to friends. I was required to use at least 75% of the parts I was given and build a 15 watt SET amp.
I kept that one and built a decent cabinet for it. Fun and games for me since I like challenges.
Oh and I called the amp the Cowen until I was happy with the sound and won the bet, now it is the amp formerly known as Cowen.
