It will look similar to this preamp. Based on the 205d tube
Who are your favorite custom amp builders for low powered triode amps?
I'm curious to learn from you all whose amps you are using and loving.
I am currently loving my Alan Eaton 45 monoblocks, but I see pictures of amps from other builders that look sensational.
What are you using? What can you share about the amp? Any information would be appreciated.

I’m a huge fan of Oliver Sayes out of Brooklyn. He makes incredibly affordable DHT designs, cloning and building off Korneff 45 and Yamamoto designs, amongst many others. He can source top notch transformers and components, either ones he may recommend or ones you request. I sold my last one to a person here on Audiogon. It was a very special amp, but I no longer own high efficiency speakers. Feel free to PM me if you want me to put you in touch with him. |
I have really liked my Aric Audio Super 300B SET. https://aricaudio.com/products.php?product=SPR300BSET I am also a big fan of Brandon Wade's amps. I have a custom 2A3 amp from him that I really like. He has been finalizing the design of an 811 amp that is higher power but still SET. I heard the prototype and liked it too. |
The only drawback to buying these simple basic amplifiers from boutique companies is they do not stay in business very long, leaving you with an orphaned product that has poor resale value when you decide to upgrade. Having said that, I have owned SETs from Sophia Electric for the past 20 years and recommend them. They carry in house all the parts you might need to retube or modify your electronics and are available for personal consultation. Great company! |
