I think it'd be kinda cool to have a toob speaker amp, but I'm too lazy (and time-challenged) to build one up from scratch. Are there, by any chance, kits out there? I'm not looking for nickel- cored transformers with solid silver windings, genuine paper caps rolled on the thighs of virgins, toobs dipped in LN2, and all that crap: I'm just looking for something that'll give the audio quality of a mid-range amplified speaker set, in a cabinet that shows off the fact that it all uses ancient technology to get the job done. Suggestions welcome. TIA This kit has been around forever and seems to get good reviews: http://store.tubedepot.com/diy-k12g.html? vfsku=diy.k12g.2&gpla=pla&gclid=CJL-56C1krsCFWLNOgoduWkAIA There's also this little kit from a Chinese seller on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hifi-stereo-...one-amplifier- diy-kit-/230910167825?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 which has the output transformers on board - you'd need to supply a power transformer. You'd have to put them in a chassis if you wanted it, but since they're both mounted on PCBs it shouldn't be too hard: buy an aluminum chassis and punch holes for the tubes, mount the board underneath so the tubes poke through and then mount the transformers underneath or on top as your preference. Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for, except that now that I know what a fair price is, I may just buy new speakers . -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com |
