I am into tubes and have some DIY tube amplifiers,and some commercial products also.
I finallylly got myself the amplifier I have been wishing for since 2007, (secondhand and for a price I could pay).

My speakers are DIY with parts from Jantzen audio.

I used to listen to a KT120 Triode connected "DIY custom amplifier", it was nice , but going to a true triode like 300B has brougtht me where I want to be. Now I only need to bring up my Michell Gyro +SME-V arm up from the basement.:)

Music tastes, 70's rock,Blues, Dire straits, JJ Cale, John Bonamassa, Chris Jones and Ruf Record catalog.
8 watt and 95dB speaker are more than enough for me..

Best Regards
Balle

Hi, a handsome amp, but isn't it Joe Bonamassa rather than John?

Hi Erik, welcome to AoS, nice amp :)

Hi Erik,
That is some title statement, I'm sure a lot of folks on here will be very pleased that you have achieved your target.

I was going to use the expression that folk would be 'well made up for you', but that might not have been understood.
Like the music choices a lot, a big welcome to the best music/sound appreciation forum,

Skal, Alan

Welcome to AoS Erik. I read your link they are interesting loudspeakers with the custom-designed mid-bass driver.

Hi Erik, welcome from me too.

Looks like you're putting together an interesting system.


Enjoy AOS,
Geoff.

Cayin gear is good. I heard the system below at Silverstone 2009 and was extremely impressed with it. The smaller speakers were being using and cost around £550. It just sounded so much better than it had any right to.

A few years later I bought the preamp (a slight variant of), being given away on ebay waaayyyy below its true sonic worth. I really like it.

Enjoy it:)
