@BangDead How is Design going? Looked at my 3.7 yet?
 
Should get soldering soon, need some stripboard, what i had left is not big enough...
 
Also 3.7.1 Coming soon. Anyone still with me?

So it begins, Nothing can stop me now.

R3 and R9 will be soldered very close to the MOSFET gates?
 
Looking good.

 

[TestSubject]

No worries, they will be soldered directly on the gate pin.
 
Thanks

Its coming along ok. Except I got mixed up in some capacitor size, after a little shuffling around, back on track.
 

 
God like soldering skills (not really, thick soldering wire doesnt help.)

Looks like I am done with the circuit.
 
 

 
Next the box.

I am a little confused on the type of wire i should use for the Transistors, Would ruban cable work?
 

 

[digger945]

Anything around 24 gauge or bigger should work fine for the source and drain. Smaller stuff would be ok for the gate.

A first review of the completed box:

Any tips on how to add some LEDs under the tube circuit wise?
 
Also:
 

 
Case need to be varnished and the external components needs to be soldered in, I should be done sometime today.

If your sockets have the little holes through the center the common practice is to stick the LED's in the holes and wire them and their resistors in.

And its done, everything is wired up and double checked. When i plug it in, with a source active, nothing happens, no sound nothing glows inside the tubes, nothing at all. A little annoyed.
 
Is there any ways to check if the tubes are OK?
 
Checked conductivity between pin 4 and 5, and nothing.
 
EDIT: 9 and 4, 9 and 5 conducts

Some of the power supplies struggle a little to fire up a cold amp, so the power supply may cycle on and off a few times until the heaters get hot.
 
It takes the heaters more than a few seconds to get hot enough to warm the cathode sufficiently to begin emitting electrons, completing the circuit and allowing you to hear music.

Ok thanks, I am turning it on right now, ill wait a couple of minutes and see... I mean hear how it goes.
 
Ill keep you posted.
 
EDIT: After a good 20 minutes still nothing.

You double check the pinout on the mostest? The pinout on the devices does not match the pinout on your board.
