An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Doug wins, while his beautiful wife Susan waits her turn patiently and thinks (I hope I don't win that yucky t-shirt).

Demetri... the real target driver is the 207 (only requires a change in the port length) but we haven't girded ourselves to do the XO yet.

Sure enough, she wins - guess what?

the T-Shirt!
(It certainly looks better on her that it would on Dave!)
That's it for now - I'll post a few more after lunch

One of two Scotts, yes ( LK48 or 222) - took almost longer to strip out the parts and wiring than to rebuild.
The circuit is essentially the topology of Eli Duttman / Jim McShane's delightful and very flexible "El Cheapo" design*- with several changes of course to take advantage of the tubed rectification and superior output iron native to the Scott chassis.
*CCS loaded12AT7 LTP driving EL84 class A P/P

LK48 used as donor. Push-pull EL84s strapped in triode running Class A (cathode bias). Front end is based on El-cheapo ECC81 LTP but with the diyAudio CCS. Power supply is dual mono after the 1st cap (ie splits to a choke for each channel). No feedback.
This 4W amp has the best bass (within its power limitations) of any amp i've heard recently. A real gem.

what Dave said - makes the Trends T-amp sound like a toy, and depending on the driver tubes ( vintage Mullards can be a bit soft, but Oh my, so seductive) can give a 2A3 or 300B SE a run for their money in the midrange as well
on the project list is a chassis rebuild for this piece elegant enough for some hand carved wood-work by Jesse's guy.
got a close up of the chip amp kicking around?

gee, Dave has a camera, and my money's on the material still being on the premises
JesseG said:Chris - I think that Cal is referring to that humungous Altec horn that he had sprouting from the stump downstairs. Cal took that away with him (much to Dave's relief).
Jess
oops

and took no pictures during the event (except for Hemp FR8s with the whizzer-ectomy)
