So how much do you have left to do before you feel it is ready to power up and play?
You know, without the wrench across your heaters

Waiting anxiously ( Be careful please )

Can't miss a chance to bump UHOP's build thread - and join in on the dog loving...... We added Smooshy to the herd last fall. A rescue from the humane society. She got along famously with our German Shepherd, Layla, from day one.... [img:432:576]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_0uFLNMN12Kc/TLMD_Z...

I dont know if introducing moisture into your amp is a good idea! I try not to even sweat on my build while working on it so no contacts get corroded in the future. I was originally using a cheap soldering iron on first build and burnt a couple wires cause the whole shaft got hot on that one. Since ...

WOW bet that thread got a lot of comments
It's amazing what you can do if you have enough electrical tape

A normal build AcousticMirror, like this one? [img:1023:682]http://i625.photobucket.com/albums/tt337/diagrammatiks/IMG_2840.jpg[/img] Where did this pic come from ChrisM I just realized its not from Diagrammatiks. I saw the power light on and thought WOW no smoke? no flames? Did that amp actually w...

Am I hallucinating or is that power light lit in that pic?

Ok lets hear some clips of these crazy looking creations of yours.

Cant wait to here some soundclips!

"So, I'm going to assume that I have to go read every tube amp book and become so capable that I really wouldn't need to ask any questions here before I can ask any questions here" Once you do that, you wont have to ask questions here! You could just sit on you high chair and make anyone asking ques...

Let's not get heated here I can speak for Soundperf's work. ( Seen it ) I can tell you he knows how to work safely in amp ( He helped me diffuse mine for my first time) I think he was a little offended as I would be too. If someone has gotten as far as building theyre own amp from scratch and still ...

The part where you told him that amps carry lethal voltages
DUH

Sounds like you are very confident and I will leave it at that.
You can purchase fire extinguishers very cheap:)
No seriously you may be an electronics genius for all I know?
Continue with your prototype by all means!
If you have any questions along the way please ask here

At what value does a Low plate become a High plate?
Does refering to an amp as high plate or low plate only correspond with D-styles, or could I say a Marshall 2550 is a low plate?
Where is the happy medium plate?JK
Thanks for asking this BTW Jestaudio!

That amp doesn't look as bad as the name would imply!

Are these pictures of guts that you are ripping out or is this how you plan to build this amp? I am getting a little worried here! With lead dress like that I would stand 10 ft back with fire extinguisher in hand when I power that beast up. Would you like any help or suggestions? My first suggestion...

I think I went through the thread you mentioned right before I adjusted my PI a few weeks back. I ended up just tweaking by ear and with a mullard RI matched triode. While adjusting the PI the change in sound was so minimal to my ears it made me wonder if the tube type/brand is more important than t...
