Last week at the Toy Shop....
Went over to the shop last Weds with some parts for my next amp build, and my 2A3 amp. House is full of goodies, amps as far as the eye can see....
Untitled by analog addict, on Flickr My 2A3 with a brand new 5670 to 6DJ8 conversion, a classic Fire Bottle KT 88, and a brand new purpose built KT-170 amp... Untitled by analog addict, on Flickr Untitled by analog addict, on Flickr Untitled by analog addict, on Flickr Dennis says this KT-170 amp will be capable of 15WPC... Untitled by analog addict, on Flickr The new 300B amp with upgraded power supply and some other improvements... Untitled by analog addict, on Flickr A Blue Racer awaiting its production power transformer... Untitled by analog addict, on Flickr Straitwire's new phono pre, featuring a separate power supply... Untitled by analog addict, on Flickr And my pile o parts which will eventually be an 8417 amp similar to the Blue Racer... Untitled by analog addict, on Flickr Dennis hung on to my 2A3 amp. He seemed to like the sound, and it had honestly been a couple of years since I fired it up, and we were both surprised how good it sounded. I think there will be at least one Inspire 2A3 arriving on the scene, and if anyone is looking for one, the time to ask is now....myself, I'm toying with the idea of a 2A3 PSE design..... |

Aren’t 8417 tubes just about impossible to find?
I see that 6v6 amp in red is still there. Wonder if her’d sell it at a good price… |

Would an overloaded power transformer show up as it getting abnormally hot?

And if you're interested in a particular amp, send Dennis a message via EBay.... |

I worry about running afoul of Ebay's rules about off ebay sales. I'll try emailing Dennis directly. |

Dennis must be running the KT170 tubes in his upcoming amp rather gently to get 15 wpc. I assume in SEP mode?
My Inspire KT88 was rated at 17 wpc by Dennis. I assume in SEU mode. The Tektron (Italy - not the speaker company) PSE KT170 amp produces 45 wpc. It has some big iron to handle that, weighing at 77 pounds. https://www.tektron-italia.com/en/pr...two-kt170-pse/ |

Besides, what do I need money for? I decide what I want to try next, work with Dennis on a design/schematic, work with Straitwire on the chassis/layout, then build it myself and take it over to the Toy Shop for testing and final tuning. OK it might cost me a little for a few parts not in my inventory, but that's no biggie. Come to think about it, when I pulled out a few ANOS 2A3s out of my stash, I noticed that I had over a dozen of those as well. That's what started me thinking about that PSE 2A3 build.... |

I was revisiting these picts and saw my KT/Universal amp (pearl white) there on the floor. I miss that amp! I need to get back there to pick that up. |
