  1. A great example of Shade feedback I see Mike. It's hard for me to see the screen hookup for the EL84's, did you use the typical 2k2 value from the plate supply?

     

     

     

    I am very curious if the Renaissance amp has a similar feedback approach, or if it uses the more common global feedback around the transformer. :rolleyes:

    Howdy, No this is not "Shade" feedback at all, however, it is a type of Anode to Anode feedback. And, No, it's not derived from the plate supply at all.

  2. Hi Joe,  he posted his email for you to contact him, you probably have to manually type it into the address of your email software.

    Matt, are your speaker amps ultra linear? And I noticed that you offer a 6W6 option for your Genesis 6 amp, does it still put out 6 watts with this tube?

    Howdy, they are not Ultra-Linear, typically the 40% tap is a delete option from my OT winder. The Genesis6 is running about (trade secrets,  ;) 250v on the plate @ 40mA, CCS Bias) = Awesome! :)

    Isnt firebottle a tube based guitar effects pedal?

     

     

    Yep, I found that when I googled it also.  I guess Dennis Had doesn't have a web site.

     

     

     

     

    Dennis Had calls his amplifiers "Inspire" and has recently added the Fire Bottle reference.  Dennis seems to primarily sell on eBay (radioman731) when he completes an amplifier, similar to Bob Carver (audioshopper) selling his hand-built amplifiers.   I believe he also takes special orders for those that have contacted him by word-of-mouth.  There is also a headphone amplifier on Moon Audio running 6SN7, 6BL7 or 6BX7 output tubes.

    Here are a couple of pictures to show the Fire Bottle references above.

    Care to share pricing information on the 45  :rolleyes: , 45 has LONG been my favorite SET amp design

     

    I LOVE 45's as well! They are fantastic DHT's to power Heritage speakers.

  4. Hi Joe,

     

    I really appreciate the welcome! I have no idea what kind of hurry you are in to get yourself into another headphone amp, but, shoot me an email to: toolshedamps@gmail.com and we can discuss some options. Jack @ ElectraPrint will wind anything I need. Can anyone say "5.5K to 300 Ohms?"  :D

     

    Cheers!

    It's time to join the party!  :)  Diversity is what makes the audio hobby interesting, and, Tolerance is what makes it fun. 

     

    I understand the rules, so, I will not be advertising here. However, if anyone has any questions I will be happy to answer them.  :D

     

    Cheers!
