6GE5 Stereo Amplifier, Part 2 : Assembly

Hi!

The previous post about this project showed the schematic. Now lets see the assembly steps and photos of the finished amp.





While the schematic showed a power amp, I decided to build an integrated by simply adding a volume pot and input selector in front.

The ultra path oil caps, power transformer and the chokes are placed on top of the chassis. Both chokes will be hidden under a single cover.





Wiring of the heaters:




Adding some solder terminal strips for the passive components:





Completed wiring. The output transformers are placed inside the chassis:




The finished amp:




Front view:




View from the top:




The same view with the amp switched on:




Glowing tubes:




I am also offering kits for this amplifier. The prices are for a power amp version.

Iron set (power transformer, chokes, output transformers):

EUR 640,- (EU incl. VAT) / EUR 538- (outside EU)


Full parts kit (excluding chassis and wire):

EUR 890,- (EU incl. VAT) / EUR 748,- (outside EU)


Best regards

Thomas

  2. I really like this amp! Do you sell the output transformers separately? I'm in the United States and already have a suitable power supply. Also, do you sell the rotary on/off switch? Thanks.

  3. Hello. How much power can I expect from your kit? I have a pair of Klipsch speakers with a sensitivity of 98dB @ 2.83V / 1m. I'm hoping a tube amp will give new life to these speakers that are currently not being unused. Thank you.

  4. Hallo Thomas,
    wäre es möglich diesen Amp mit 6N7 und 6AV5A zu bestücken?
    Der Ausgangsübertrager den du hier einsetzt ist ein 5k, würde 4,5k noch gehen?
    Grüsse Hannes

    1. Einfach selbst ausprobieren und Röhrendaten vergleichen. Dieser Post war vor fast 8 Jahren, da habe ich nicht mehr alle Daten im Kopf. Selbst ist der Mann ;-)
