That is ******* amazing...best project in the history of GroupDIY!

Congrats analag. You could probably sell a few of them.
Prepare yourself for all the PMs about how to DIY one now...

I'm in awe.

It's a lot of work, the end result is amazing. I'm more than happy with it.

holy **** Rowan, Gus and I were talking about you and how crazy you are today.. And you go and prove it!

That is top stuff man, this should stop a lot of people from giving you ****.. In fact I bet a bunch of them will now beg to be your friend!

Rowan that is awesome, I need to finish mine.

I have actually made some progress since I last posted, so I don't feel so bad.


Is it possible you could post some sound clips, I for one would be very interested to hear it in action ?

29 tubes, selfwound transformers, 10 unit rack case....it's just too much to comprehend for me right now. And you did it all quite quickly did'nt you? Well...how long did you work on this beast anyway?

It's by far the best DIY project I've ever seen!

 

[emrr]

YEs, what do you estimate your hour count to be, including separate guesses at 'research' and at 'planning' stages?


Then we want a white paper.... :grin:

 

[Larrchild]

Most-excellent, Rowan. That's one Irie chassis!

I found that AC fils worked great from a hum standpoint because of the cancelling effects of push-pull, but I went to regulated DC fils on the 6BA6's anyway, because power line drift would change the emission of the tubes and the meter zero was never the same twice.

A small annoyance, but you can question whether it's worth the extra circuitry. The 670 used a Sola constant-voltage xfmr in it on the 6386's for that reason.

Again, kudos to you for this gargantuan effort!

Hey Rowan my friend, my hat of to you. :thumb:
Very nice project.

[analag]

Research and build time took a little more than two months. And it's
(30) tubes not (29). I have an 6A*6 on the inside, directly beneath the EL34.

Larr, I set the 6B*6's to conduct a "set" current.

hello, i saw this crazy project just now!!!

woaow

do you have more pictures please?

how is the sound?

did you compare to the original?

thank you

 

[analag]

It sounds amazing. I have not compared it to the original but this thing is fast with a lot of stopping power. Something really beautiful happens when I hard pin the VU meter to the left.

 

[pstcho]

nice and stupid question

where to find the documentation to do one?

 

[analag]

The documentation for this one is in my head, including transformer data.

 

[pstcho]

you may have a ******* big brain man

very impressive

total respect man!!!!!!!

 

[SUPERMAGOO]

excelente!!!!!!
might post some audio through this marvel limiter?

 

[mulletchuck]

I got to hear this thing first hand at the last NYC DIY.  freakin' UNREAL.    Creamy.  NO noise.  NO PUMP.  just smooth glue.
