DaMuffinMan Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I am looking around for some amps/plans to do for my 1st build. Here is what I hope to accomplish with this Integrated S.E.T. Tube Amp Project: > 4 Watts < $500.00 Tone Control Inputs for: Receiver/Tuner Record Player CD Player Would this work? http://diyaudioprojects.com/Schematics/300B-SE-Tube-Amp-Schematic.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 It almost looks like you want to build an integrated amp, not a power amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Record Player no CD Player yes That is a power amp with one input and volume control only. You could pair it with a pre-amp that has the desired features, but that kit, as it is, lacks most of what you want. Building a full featured integrated amp, with tone controls and dedicated phono input, is a bit much for a first-time project. It's a bit much for any project, IMO, unless you're truly dedicated (being paid). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaMuffinMan Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Wdecho that looks about like what I want to build. But without the subs out and some other things. Is this the one you made with one shared power supply?Sent from my SM-N910T3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMuffinMan Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Is this the schematic you used ? Sent from my SM-N910T3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent almost $1000. building mine and it is not the easiest one to build to be quite being it is a DHT tube. I would suggest George Anderson's SSE amp. It uses a circuit board and is well documented for about the money you are wanting to spend. I built mine just using the schematic and did not purchase the board. I helped another member build using the board and he is very satisfied with his results. Wdecho what 300B tube are you using in this setup? How many watts is you amp pushing out?

A selector switch can be a pain to wire up if you have never done it before. Do you have a build of this online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkane Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 wdecho, I'll keep that in mind. Iron's ordered. need to get to work on the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkane Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Mines finished except for the base. i'm on my 3rd attempt. Made kindling out of the first 2. Impressions; images very well. Maybe a bit on the bright side but I'm working on that. It's dead silent when the music's not playing which is impressive. A few glitches along the way but considering I've only done complete kit's before this, I'm shocked it didn't go up in smoke and flames.. Learned lot's doing this.

mkane Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 45 amp and am already considering different OPT's. Electraprint, Edcors's, Trancendor is just down the rod a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkane Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 My Stereomour's running 45's and it's a bit softer than this unit. Wondering if different OPT will tone it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
