Power Supplies Tower Style

Hi!

The recently presented 211 amps in tower style received some good feedback for their design. Someone commissioned a set of 300B monos and a 10Y preamp in the same chassis style. The power supplies are already finished.





This time in a light coloured wood body. The power supplies use a full tube Graetz bridge with a mix of 1616 and 6AX4 tubes. Similar to the PSUs for a previous 300B amp and also similar to the PSUs of the 211/211 amps.





Like those the new PSUs can also operate 866A tubes:







The signal chassis will use silver finemet transformers for which I am still waiting. They will share the same circuit as the silver 300B amps and silver 10Y line stage built earlier this year.

There is also a version of the Stereo 300B amp planned in the same tower style.





Best regards

  1. Hello Thomas. First I want to say what a great blog you have here! Your work is simply stunning!
    I am thinking of building a power supply with either 2 or 4 866a MV tubes. Do you have a schematic available by any chance for the 4 X 866a rectifiers?
    I need to end up with 450V.
    Thanks once again for the great information1
