dammit, someone has to post something here.
On a music-related note, this month's AARP Magazine(shills for old folks here in the US),
the cover features Bruce Springsteen. Thanks, now I really feel old. :x

I'm building a tube amp. I just got the final part (the power transformer) yesterday.

I'm a virtuoso with a soldering iron!

OK, not really. But I can solder shit together. We'll see.

assuming you, and your dwelling, survive this, will you take orders for
a Single End Triode?? Something like around 5 watts/channel?? Apparently,
Klipsch speakers really like them..... :)

Seriously, have you ever seen the prices for some of those SETs?? Sheesh!
And, then, with tube rolling costs over time.....damn.

I'm building almost exactly what you describe. Except it will be 6 watts. And it could have cost as little as $150 but I splurged on a few parts to make it around $200. It's based on a plinker tube. a compactron 6LU8 which has a triode and pentode in the same bottle. Ultra-linear and single ended. To be honest, I'm not sure if the pentode is triode strapped or not.

Sure, I could build you one. But, depending on what you want, you'd have to supply the parts. If you want a 300B, even the raw parts might break the bank. Of course, that's more than 5 watts. I think I would like to build a nice 2A3 amp next.

reading on AudioKarma seems to show that amp to be a very good, reasonably
priced amplifier. Hmmm.
