Stephe, Taking the time to be as thorough as possible, with any of your future amp build series will pay huge dividends. Treating this as a apprenticeship class, skipping no steps. For the experienced bulders, they can read the schematics and their off to the races. As a former coorporate trainer, this will miminize questions , at a later date, saving you time. Yours and my time is worth more than money. Wishing you all the best with your new business!
Hi Skunkie, thanks for the heads up on the EAR834 and the build tips. It sounds great-- quiet, way better than I expected. I'm using old Baldwin organ/piano tubes made by sylvania just as a test and there is no noise at all, I do have some 7025 by GE and EH and some others I cant remember, but don't know how it could get better. Note- I had one of those clone/clone boards and scraped off the TT ground and the standoffs are connected to the chassis as well, but...I still don't have any hum or noise. I also left off the LED and used an oragne neon on/off switch I had laying around. Lots of bass, I'm using Polk monitor 7 and it just sounds great. Did I say how nice it sounds! Thanks again

When I solder stuff, I now do it on a silicon baking mat. They are large, heat proof and pretty cheap.
Thanks so much for all this info it’s actually helping me indrr we standing schematics and wiring diagrams
Great to hear!
Going well. I agree with the next comment. You cannot have too much detail in your instructions. Assume we are all idiots is a safe bet!

These things just sound SOOOO good to me!
Using 60/40 with silver or lead free solder with silver? I am sure builders will want to know.

Can you find them or these ground bars please?
You lost me, find what?
Please not another SE amp.KT88 Push pull amp please.
Denied!
Nope, there are a ZILLION of those designs out there already! I have zero need for any more power than even this amp.
