    My dad passed and I found a half assembled DIY preamp without schematics. Any help or advice would be great.

    My dad passed three years ago and I'm picking up the pieces. I didn't know that he left me with this in progress preamp until recently. He also has a phono stage (no pictures in this post), but it's even more incomplete. With a family friend (close friend with my dad), we determined that it is...

    My Homebuilt "Mid-Century" Style Amp

    Hi All, This is my first AK post. Just wanted to share a recently completed project of mine: a homebuilt transistor-tube hybrid integrated stereo amplifier in the style of an early 1960's household hi-fi stereo set. The set was built as a modular system; with the exception of the power supply...

    Are DuMont Tubes any good?

    I'm working on a project that needs a pair of 6DJ8 tubes and I am looking for a good pair for cheap. Whilst looking on eBay, I found some listings for a good price. I hear a lot about Mullard, RCA, General Electric, Sylvania, etc. But is Dumont any good?
