seti Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 1957 Ampex console first stereo console. This is a good one. I've had it for years and taken many stabs at restoration. I finally made some progress. The amps, preamp, and tuner are now functionally. I also added some bluetooth. The record changer is going to be swapped and the RTR need serious help. The belts fell out the motor needs some work. All that being said I have a tuner and bluetooth for now. The guts all spread out so we can find issues more easily. Nice little JBL 8" full rangers. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a lot of work to do to some speakers I’m building before cracking open a brand new amp. I heard the “Skunky mods” are winners? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much so that I just ordered a "new" Dynaco Pas-M preamp from Kenny Russell over at getdynaco.com.

derrickdj1 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Carver makes a nice looking tube amp. I used to have an old Carver Cube amp. It worked great. Enjoy!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the father to every ufo25 amp out there. This is seen in every development post photo when he was designing posting results publicly before the final version released to all. Serial number #000. Steve ate and slept with this one for a while. It's a great piece. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then 4 month wait 😂. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Warren Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 A few photos of a tube amp project completed recently. Two channels, about 20WRMS/ch into 8Ohms. Based somewhat on the Scott 299C output stage but using a solid-state, HV power supply design capable of substantially more power than is required for the push-pull 7591 pairs. Chassis CAD files were sent out for quote, the supplier (New England based) responded with pricing for larger quantities than I was considering. Placed an order for a small lot of chassis assemblies. All metal chassis assemblies are best for RFI/EMI/noise immunity. The chassis assembly is the high-cost item in the build. Uses oversized Hammond or Lundahl output transformers. Still waiting on a few finishing touches (knobs, graphics). Was considering silk screening the top plate but perhaps some other time. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Snake Eyes. Scott 299A, 22 years post NOSValves restoration. Other than biasing occasionally, nothing has been done to it. Did some "tube rolling" once to see if I was an "audiophile"...couldn't tell a difference so still just a guy that likes music. Feeding Forte IIs. Nothing to compare it to, it's all I've used since around 2002-2003. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a 222c, from NOSVALVES and kick myself for getting rid of it, hence the purchase of the 299 from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikekid Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 All hooked up. Decware Zen amp, ChorusII speakers, and the very first Hsu research, Vtf-3 (front firing version) Absolutely gorgeous sounding~ Joined the Klipsch Forum June 13, 1999 . Still a veteran member?😄 Not enough typing and posting I suppose... I think there were only around 50 of us then. Where is my pen, where's my watch?😉 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
