Say Douglas; I think for the most part your part choices are pretty fairly priced; where can you get good transformers for 90$ and inexpensive tubes and cheaply priced oil motor runs that if you had to use regular electrolytics in their place wouild run a lot of cash.
My humble opinion the parts are very inexpensive so I wonder why you think they are up on the higher end of affordability.
What I would like is for someone to share an easy way to breadboard. That would be helpfull in terms of changing out parts for experimentation. I found a site that had an amp built in stages using aluminum angle stock drilled out; like erector set rails. and constructed in squares with platforms of sheet stock cut to fit inside in various sizes for mounting transformers and such.
I'm trying that out; with that capability of quick changing sections of amps it will be much more enjoyable trying different options.
Thats the only thing holding me back.
So what about things like adjustable caps and resistors and using bench-top power supplies for experimenting; do you do that? I think if there were more ideas concerning these issues there would be more participation. It's the cutting and drilling out that takes the time.
Really what does it cost to make an e-linear amp once the trans are bought? Not much in real terms.
