I am looking for recommendations for DIY tube amp project kits available from reputable manufactures. First and foremost sound quality; secondly cosmetics and constructability. would apprecaitate any thoughts and/or expierence for this subject.
Atmasphere makes kits for their M-60 MKII OTL amps, and they are very well reviewed. The kit is the same as the production model...but much cheaper. Their address is www.atma-spere.com.
I have built two of the foreplays, actually. One is a complete change of circuit: a (tube) constant current source topology, nothing new but I wanted to try something different. Sounds great. The second one is a much prettier (painted per doc's instructiosn) stock version. Only mods are dc on the filaments, gold rcas and the stepped attenuators. Very, very pleased with both. I like building these things. I have some fantasy of selling them off and building more. Joe
I have the Paramour, but it will be a while before I can build it. I'm told that the Chinese 2A3's stink, but then I can always get better 2A3's. I'm also going to do a loop out for the RCA's, and an IEC for external power cord connection. I may even use silver RCA's for the inputs, if I can find them (Stage 3 Concepts, perhaps).
