In Reply to: Looking to build a 6V6 amp! Thoughts? posted by xaudiomanx on August 15, 2014 at 07:59:27:
Two immediate thoughts for you to consider.
(1) Don't do a SE 6V6, use a 6AQ5 / 6005 instead, sounds better, better spacing inside the tube envelope.
(2) Don't do a separate chassis. Its a mistake. Wiring gets to be way way too long.
The power supply is PART of the audio circuit in a SE amp, and as such, it needs to be properly laid out with as minimum a lead lengths as possible, to sound its best !
Contrary to what some here "think they know" and think audio is narrow band .... every single inch of wire length saved in a good SE amp translates into better sonics. Of course, one must pay attention to fields also, as part of the spacing / layout design process.
One inch of bad wire can ruin the musical experience.
