Saftey was the main criteria, looks second. Actually the method of fixing is not terribly important, just so long as it stays put. TBH H&H would still have a fit and suggest it all goes behind bars. But then I'm not selling it so they can......."place own words here"....... :lol: The valve gets a bit hot in use, around 200 degC, but that is unlikely to kill you. Keep you nice and toasty though, esp as there are two of them..... :D |

I am dying to see this finished! :borg: Eric |

HI Eric, Thanks for the encouragement. Though this is only one part of a whole amp and is quite a big project. Not many people build amps of this caliber. I believe I'm prob the third to do so, one other chap in the states and another in the UK. Though I think we all started before learning of each other. There may be others now as I've not really been looking since I started this amp three years ago. I'll have to take some other pictures of what's involved in making these valves work, it all takes up quite some room.... :dremel: |

This is the only commercial avail 833 valve amplifier.... http://www.stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/704wavac/ Sorta explains why I'm building my own, TBH I would anyway even if I could afford this one...which I can't of course.... :( |
| Darren:
Tim asked for a pic of my valve amps, Well this is only one in working progress, up and running in this pic though.... :ddb: Rather than start a new thread I've bumped this one. Tim go to the start of this thread to see some pictures and details.... :thumbup: I'll take some more of other amps for you... |
