Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: EZ LOW COST audio tweak to try at home, for SETs and H.E. speakers

Thanks Jeff. Your timing works well for me.

My previous chassis was laser-cut steel, welded corners, powder coat etc. Just put the calipers on it and it measures close to 13 gauge, but I reckon it is really 14 gauge. Seems pretty solid - much, much better than Hammonds etc. Well worth the extra cost for the quality and nice finish.

I am designing next amp chassis and have been wondering whether to use an evolved version of my previous chassis or try a wood frame with CNCed carbon fiber top and base plates. Each monoblock chassis must comfortably support about 20kg of transformers - no sag, no flex, no rattle. I think I will take your advice to use 12 gauge steel, possibly with a thicker steel (or carbon fiber) for the base.

I also like the clean, classic, almost lab-like look of folded steel.

Cheers,
91.
