Hi, you are an amazing lady and i love your skunkie logo. Currently i am using 2a3 and looking for kt120. Hope someday you will do 2a3 or kt120 for your next project. Greeting from thousands miles from Taiwan.
Wonderful youtube channel. Thank you! Could you share where you're getting the Chassis components and the trim rings? I really like the hardware you're using.
Love your videos and designs! I couldn't find anything on your 6CA7 build that you are showing. Do you have a schematic and/or parts list? It would be nice to see a demo and maybe build it. Nice work on the KT88 by the way.
I ended up using the iron off that build for the 300B amp highlighted in this series. I might end up resurrecting it with some different/cheaper OT in the future.

Would I be better served trying to build this, or upgrading the A50? I have zero experience building amps, so it is sixes to me as far as which I put together, but I'd also ask if this series shows step by step how to build this. Thanks.
It's a pretty step by step, but not as detailed as the 6SQ7 build was. I think using both series, you should be able to and at the end, the DIY amp sound better mostly due to the limitations of the A50 transformers. The A50 mods are less work, end up costing more in total but you don't have to do much if any fabrication.
Details, details... man I wish Heathkit was still around making kits for stuff like this. So, big question for me is, HOW MANY WPC/watts per channel output and without wading through hours of video, how clean is the final signal? 1% THD? Less? Just a couple of data points to feed my curiousity. Thanks.
