6SQ7-EL34 video build series.

[StepheK]

I just finished up a VERY detailed build series on a DIY 6SQ7-EL34 amp. I previously built one for myself and decided to replicate it in a slightly more "mainstream" layout with all the audio connections on the back etc. I go into a lot of detail on chassis fabrication techniques I use, the wiring layout decision making processes and sharing little tips and things I have learned building stuff. It ended up being about thirty 20 minute videos and folks who already know how to do this stuff isn't the target audience. Hope some people find this useful or at least entertaining!

This is the first video on the playlist:

Great job, Stephe!

This series serves to demystify the DIY process for those who are new to DIY. Although I'm not nearly as experienced as many of you here, I've been restoring and building stuff for ~20 years and I picked up a few ideas too. I'm still working my way through the series but, as with all your videos, I'm impressed with the level of detail.

If someone thinks they couldn't possibly build something themselves, this series will convince them they can. What an excellent intro to our hobby!

Not what I'm looking for, but an excellent series. It shows just how much you've got to do if you want to roll your own. It's not cheap and it takes a lot of time and the right tools.

Wish I could afford that audio analyser suite. Nice bit of gear.

Recording it on video and explaining what I am doing does make it take longer, but yes, there is a lot of time involved.
