Hello everyone! I am a newcomer to the world of tube audio. I've
loved my Peavey Classic 30 guitar amplifier for the last 6 years and
I'm looking into getting started in the world of tube stereos. I know
a little bit about amplifiers (I'm a recent EE grad) and I collect
vinyl as well.



Far far far better to buy a not working old amp of US make (if you're
in the US) or to build a classic Ike/JFK/MM era design using known
good output transformers of US, Brit, Swedish or Jappanese make. Most
Chinese tube finished products are unmitigated dog****.


You need the hands on experience of building your own including
bending up a chassis on a sheetmetal brake at this stage in your
career. Gotta pay your dues to play the blues!!!!!


And ignore the single ended triode ****s, like brain diseased Andrew
"Andre Jute" McCoy.
