    Thanks.

    After modifying an Audio Innovations 500 and years of experimenting all kinds of components I took the step to create one myself.

    The amp is functioning perfectly and now starting to discovering the next step of building an an amp with rectifier tubes. I never did that before.

    Re: My first 300B amp

    beautiful amp! wish i had the skill to build one like that.

    i personally like to see the tubes and trannies on top -- what's the point if you can't see the glow... right?

    the inside looks perfectly fine. i have seen many hi-end, hand-wired amps that do not have the perfect neatness seen in an audio note component... but, they sound great anyway.

    At the moment it is somethinglike this.
    The SRPP is out and instead of that Lundahl trafo's came in. This was an enormous improvement in bass, control, depth. Not cheap but every penny worth. I also using Mundorf Tubecaps instead of paper in oil power supply caps. It was just a try but I like it a lot. For the moment they stay in plays.
