Maynard's be at the top of that class. 😉 Actually, I think Mike Stehr’s builds are nicer than mine! Maynard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomanos Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Thought I would join in. Here is my 300B/2A3 SET amplifier. Powers a pair of Heresy III (but can also be used as a headphone amp). High voltage and filament voltage is adjustable for either 300B or 2A3 with switches. Bias is adjustable for the power tubes and 6V6 driver tubes. Separate power supplies for output stage and input/driver stage. And separate filament supplies for each of the power tubes. Hybrid rectification. Each chassis weighs a ton.

henry4841 Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Lundahl OPT's as well? Looks like a quality build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lundahls are chokes and two filament transformers. The two power transformers (in blue covers) are custom wound by EP (Jack Eliano).

Who did you use for chassis plates?? I'm looking at Landfall and Front Panel Express. I like the new HV printing. The original build was maybe 10 years ago. About 5 years ago I re-built the design with changes to the filament supplies; adding the Rod Coleman voltage regulators; and adding a time delay for the high voltage supply. And also re-doing the chassis with cleaned-up PTP wiring. The chassis plates are just aluminum plates which I hand-drilled. Then spray-painted in the foyer of my apartment. (Don't think I'll ever do that again.) I thought about using FPE, but the cost would have been too high. The printing on the plates is just custom dry transfers. Here is the schematic: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can make a great looking chassis from FPE but it takes real skill and ingenuity to do it your way... Amazing.. I am planning a 112A Preamp with Coleman Regs. I have all the parts just want the chassis to be perfect. I got power supply modules from intact audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if I build another amp, I will be using the Coleman Regulators again and with Dave's modules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Klipsches Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I’ve had this one for a while, it was mostly just sitting and looking pretty. I’m now using it for a dedicated vinyl system, powering ’83 Heresys. I'd forgotten how much I like this amp, and how great it sounds with Heresys. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry4841 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 This is an amplifier designed by Bruce Heran of Oddwatt and is available as a kit. He generously supports diy'er's and has published his schematic as you can tell from my build. This is one of the few PP tube amplifiers I own and what is unique about this one is that it is run in class A. I have built a number of his designs and am well pleased with all of them. http://oddwattaudio.com/owpoddwatt.html 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Here are a few. Just finished 1.5wpc 1625 triode wired. Knight KB83 or was lol... 4 x EL37, 2 xgz34 forgot other tubes lol but they are bugle boys. This ran so hot we completely gutted it and redesigned it. It is now a PP triode el37 about 10wpc. Brook 12A Clones I built including PWK or Moderfari mods. A gift from IBSlammin. LuxmanPP triode 50ca10. Just completed cap replacement and putting it back to factory as it has been modified. Going to bring it up this week. Next to be rebuilt two EL84 amplifiers chock full of awesome mullard gz34 and el84 tubes. Love the look. I love the fisher it has been modified so I am not sure what I will do with it... Looks abit ratty. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup PP 2A3 Brook 12A clones. It was a complete PITA. I did so much wrong on this one. I learn by doing things the hard way LOL.... The transformer on the corner was supposed to be under the chassis but I screwed up big time... .. The rectifiers tubes also sit crooked... I'm thinking of redoing the chassis.. Sigh..
