Build a Hobgob Tube Amplifier
By James Grahame
Tom Hobson writes, "I recently finished putting together a stereo tube amp kit based on an amp I built and wrote an instructable on. I thought you might like to check it out! It's a 10W stereo hi-fi with 6V6 power tubes, and it's one of the simplest tube amp circuits out there. I've put it up for sale on my site and all the documentation (parts list, schematics, diagrams) is available for free. That way, anyone can build it with or without the kit."
The kit version of Tom's amp costs $400. The kit uses terminal strips and point-to-point soldering instead of a PC board and comes with various drilling templates to help you line everything up. You might be able to build one for less, especially if you happen to have a few suitable parts lounging around your workbench.
