fierce_freak Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I'm probably going to get in on the H2 + TR2 (xlr version) group buy over at the other place, so I figured now would be the time to start researching a speaker amp build. My F2 clone is almost done, but I was wondering what other options were out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I was going to start out (and have some of the parts to do so) by building the boozhound labs 6SN7/6V6 speaker amp. This was mostly because I wanted to get the theory behind the design at the same time rather than just reading directions and stuffing a pcb. This build is currently on hold until I get some other stuff off my bench but I really hope to get to it this winter. And I have no idea how it would sound, only that it'd be pretty cheap to build ($300ish IIRC) and parts and tubes might easily be transitioned to other projects if I decide I don't like the way it sounds.

fierce_freak Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Thanks, Nate, that's very intersting...As you said, who knows how it sounds, but that's a good combo for the tubes (gotta love the 6v6). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciated the time and effort that the author took in explaining how the different components were selected. I may very well have a go at building it with a different input tube. Otherwise there's the ubiquitous gain-clone type amps, I've got one of those completed but have never cased it up and never applied power, yet another thing to get off my bench one of these days. Jebus, I've got a lot of stuff sitting downstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Nate, if you ever power up and use the gain-clone, let me know how you like it (or not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fierce_freak Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I'm still poking around a bit and saw the truepath kit over at 41hz.com. Maybe something based on that or some of the hypex.nl UcD modules... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerius Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Gary Pimm 47 Push-Pull. It's a pretty advanced build, but the sound is really amazing. Puts out only about 4 watts though, but stay within its limits and it'll hang with any amp I've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looser101 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 How about one of these? Interesting read: http://www.tubecad.com/2006/05/blog0065.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fierce_freak Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Those both look cool. I really want to build something with tubes sometime, but I'm going to have to wait for my funds to build back up again. In the meantime I'm going to just put together a twisted pear audio twisted x overture. I've got a working F2, but I don't think it'll have enough power for what I intend.
