richieb Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 -} One of my first tube amps was sold as a “Randall” amp. It was built at this workshop for a project by one of the founders of deHaviland amps and their chief engineer. Sounded great, used huge and heavy ElectraPrint transformers — Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeloManiac Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 "The amp is based on EL84 / 6bq5 power tube in push-pull pentode configuration rated at 14 watts per channel." This seems to be quite a popular design, with some commercial models on the market also, all costing around the $1000-1500 price bracket (work and parts included). However, my personal interest goes to the Elekit TU8800 diy kit. Any thoughts? http://getaudio.eu/en/elekit-tu-8800-pentode-single-ended-tube-amp-diy-kit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhing Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 When I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, I used to attend the San Francisco Tube Users Group meetings at the small auditorium in the Randall Museum. We used a pair of Klipsch Chorus speakers that were re-capped by one of the members. I hope the group still gets together, because I met some really great people in that group, had the opportunity to learn from others, and hear some great gear. The class should be very educational and the hands-on building experience is priceless. It’s a great way to get into DIY audio. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
