The amps comprises three stages. The input stage is a 6SN7 to allow one to choose among the many variations thereof, AC heating will include a trick I will show at the seminar. The driver stage is the 10Y/801A, again with a trick filament supply. The output stage is naturally the 300B, with yet another twist on the filament supply. A primary focus of the filament supplies is to provide a very quiet amp, without sonic penalty vs. ac heating. The power supply is all nickel ala Dave Slagle. The output txs are Tamura nickel. And to full surround the 300B with nickel, a Dave Slagle nickel filament choke.

There will be suggestions for an economy versions as well for those not wanting to spend BIG bucks for transformers. Somewhat to this end, those these do not necessarily constitute a reduction in quality, I have a few complements of power supply transformers and chokes that I will make available to those who attend. They are $200 per set. That gets one two miltary spec power transfomers and two miltary spec power supply chokes to build the monoblocks as presented. This is a steal!!! I am only willing to haul these heavy things if someones says so in advance. So, here's your chance. First come first serve: lmoore01@fuse.net Payment arranged in advance. You'll even save shipping.

The amps are constructed on black walnut chassis with all stainless hardware, cardas connections etc. They are shall we say, nice. Hope to see everyone there and have a good time sharing this design.

any pics of this amp...

thanks...take care>>>>>>

enjoy the music!

I'm going to have a basic electronics seminar, so that will help give an understanding of Ohms Law, reactive circuits, resonance, peaking and damping. I think the two seminars will complement each other nicely, since what they gain at my seminar will help them understand the behavior of some of the things discussed in your seminar, such coupling and bypass components, capacitors, transformers and chokes. I'll tell 'em about passive components, resistance and reactance, and then you'll move on into active circuits. That's pretty cool.

See you there!

thanks!

I'd be glad to help you out, you wouldn't be the first and won't be the last, hopefully. I think you'll find that you'll have a great amps that you can pass on to your children, and their children.....that you yourself built and that will surpass most everything commerically available, and best of all, you built it, and your heart, and energy and sole will be stored in it....that's what this is all about.

For those on the fence about sitting in on the seminar.....jump on it with both feet. This is a rare op.
