It has been a long time since I first contacted Denis (ZZZ) about building a Weebl/Blue Hawaii amplifier. I now have the finished product installed and running. Its only been running three songs, so far, but this may be it. What I've been searching for 'lo these many years.
Once I have let it run in for a while I'll post back on more initial listening impressions.
If you search you'll see a picture in the archives. It runs with four EL-34 power tubes, four 6C33 rectifier tubes, two transformers, and Black Gate caps as far as the eye can see. I think it runs in balanced mode, as it has two DACT stepped attenuators, one for each channel. It has two outputs so that two people can listen at once. It also has one balanced, and one unbalanced input.
Anyway, if anyone is interested I'll keep you posted as it breaks in. (One problem is that this is the first time I've used the Omega headphones, so those'll need time to charge and break in as well.)
