I assume that the GM100 isn't for a preamp then.... Sheesh! :-)


There was a actual working amp using them at VSAC

Much as I love Paul's collection of heavy-duty audio, It can only be
regarded as an interesting conversation piece when installed like that. It
doesn't exactly blend in with the decor does it? grin
Lovely - my Mrs would kill me... Especially now I've found this pic:

Its still a work in progress, he does have plans to make it into two
monoblocks, that can be put in the back of a van.

I've dug my old 6L6 p-p project out again. I may just get to complete it
soon! My nasty little parallelled ECC82 p-p amp still runs nicely, but
there is a bit of a hum on one channel that needs looking at. Low power,
but interesting; and a lot cooler and lighter than a 212 collection. Takes
less juice in total than the heater on one of those...
(photos on mixtel site under Rough Audio).


As I said, I have yet to build a SE amp, but after hearing the amps in
the pictures, I am going to give it a try, there was a nice sounding
6em7 amp there, (sort of rat amp construction), so I am going to give
that a try in the new year.
