Tube4hi-fi el 84 PP amp arrives
type: item
description: Hey all; There's a website called tube4hi-fi and the guy sells a kit for this el 84 pp tube amp based on the Dynaco ST 35. It uses a really nice printed circuit board in place of the hardwired St but the same transformers as the st 35 or sca 35. I had an sca 35 in the basement with good trannies so I bought the kit just for giggles. It came today and boy is it nice. A Hammond chassis all drilled out for the Dyna trannies all the jacks mounted. I just have to stuff the PC and wire up the power supply. Anyway the sca 35's go for 75$ and the kit is 186.00$ with every thing but trans and tubes. 4 el 84's 1 ax7 and 1au7 and your done. 17 watts of nice power cheap. . I started building tonight. All good parts, close tolerance resistors, poly caps, those ultra-fast 400v caps like Bottlehead uses, a nice alps volume control. He has a nice brass top plate for 50$ that looks good. Any interest and I'll post pics. The St 35 sounds good and this is the same circuit with minor mods so it's like getting a new ST 35 I guess.

description: Oh now that's too cool! I know that point-to-point wiring is hip with some tube lovers, but I prefer a PCB. If laid out well, it will perform better and it is naturally going to be more consistent between units. The price on that kit is incredible. When you have time, please post pictures, comments and any other information that comes to mind.

Including images in forum posts

description: OK. Here's how you do it. First, upload all the image files. If you don't have free web space with your ISP, then use a free hosting site like DirectImageHost.com. But you probably have free web space from your internet service provider, so check with them first. Second, after you've uploaded the files, youy'll need to know their filenames. This should include the whole internet pathname. An example is the smiley face at the end of this sentence. That file is named "http://www.AudioRoundTable.com/images/lil_smiley.gif". Third, decide whether you want to display a single image in your post, or several pictures. If you just want to put a single image at the top of your post, then put the internet pathname of your image file into the field called "Optional Image URL" down at the bottom of the Reply Form. If you want to insert several pictures, then you'll need to type in some HTML code manually. Wherever you want an image to show up, type in the following: Or to center the picture, type this: If you'd like to add a caption, type this: Your Caption Between the quotes, where it says "picturename", put in the name of your image file using the entire internet path. The words "Your Caption" should be replaced with whatever you want printed below your picture. An example is the laughing Felix picture shown below, which is done by using the following HTML code: Man, this is a lot of fun! Man, this is a lot of fun!

description: Wayne, every time you put a smiley face on the post you have to type that in? How do you find out if your ISP has space? I am lucky I can get my posts to show up on here, there must be an easier way. I e-mailed pics to people it seemed simple, am I missing something? You have the patience of a saint, and like all saints you must suffer the fools gladly.

description: Yeah, you have to type all that stuff in. It's HTML, so it's exactly what code is used behind the scenes to display images on any web page. Your E-Mail program handles some of this stuff for you, but we're old school here.
