DIY Amp

+ 1 for the Tubes4hifi kit. I built my VTA ST-120 about 4 years ago, and still own it to this day and love it.....note this is the only tube amplifier I've owned. I now just have to install it back into my system, with my solid state gear. I built mine with the optional capacitor upgrade, and the stepped atenuator.

I have mine with Phillips 5R4GY rectifier that I like better than GZ37s or RCA NOS tubes. Power tubes are Tung Sol KT-120 power tubes, and roll various 6DJ8, 5963, 5814, 12AU7, 6922, etc - NOS Pre Amp/signal tubes.....believe I'm getting somewhere near 70+ WPC with the KT-120s.

Kit has great instructions and wiring diagrams (color coded), and was incredibly easy to follow. Fun project with a great amp, that is a tube rollers delight.

I haven't built one but it's got very good reviews by those who did.

Bottlehead?

They offer 2A3 mono's and a 300B that can be done as  mono also I believe.

Nice kits and a great support community!

Hello ecpninja!  As the happy owner of an EleKit TU-8600R, I am sure you would be happy with it. Get the version with the fancy output transformers etc. It is not cheap but it is often talked about by reviewers and performs extemely well. Put a Telefunken 12AX7 in the input tube socket and be amazed. Use efficient speakers. 90 watts is only 10db louder than 9 watts. 10 db isn't all that much unless you are trying to break a lease or get your wife to leave you. Happy building!

The Elekit looks like a very promising project and the pedigree looks good
