I got all geeked up about building the JE Lab 6SL7/2A3 amp but then I got a GREAT BOM for Redboy and realized that I did not have the money for all the iron and such.
At the end of last year Bauhausler (Ross) sold me all the iron, tubes, sockets, and choke I need to build a GM70 amp. I slapped my head last night realizing that I could build the amp with not much more money outlay.
So, once again, I am going in a differnt direction. Origanally I was thinking about a three stage amp, but since then I bought a preamp that has some gain to it, so now I am going with a two stage. 6SN7/GM70. I am using the 6SN7 because I have a new pair of them from Tongsol. Here is a pic of the amp chassis with the components I got from Ross more or less in the place they will end up.
I am making aluminum inside corner brackets tomorrow night and making the top plate next Tuesday night. I don't have a final Schem but hope to soon. With any luck I'd like to have this done by the end of Feb.
