looking forward to trying out this amp this Sunday.Just got it picked up today it looks ok on photo at least will see you Sunday sir!!!
Replacing any coupling capacitor with a well designed and correctly matched driver or interstage transformer yields an almost shocking improvement in sound and should be tried to fully understand what a good wideband transformer has to offer.
It is a 300B timE amp but with the following addition / modifications :
The amp will use a high profile and slightly bigger black chassis with silver front panel without print. Silver knobs will be provided to make it look good. The amp is a timEt amp meaning it is served by a pair of Interstage Transformer (instead of coupling cap ), All black transformers (total 7 pieces) are installed on the top plate. A pair of standard Psvane 300B is provided. Usual 6EM7 driver tubes and a 5Z4P rectifier for you as spare. The amp is also with hardware upgrades to CMC style speaker posts, 4 x RCA inputs and tube sockets. Speaker outs are 4 and 8 ohms.
As the amp is also a headphone amp, one standard headphone jack and one XLR 4 - pin socket are installed ( both provided by user ) - both connected to 4 ohm out. and a speaker silent switch is installed. Two filter chokes are used to achieve low humming to a possible minimum.
It is a more iron than glass amp.
Blue, but not too bright.Front panel done. Blue or red LED light above the power switch? I have a choice....
It's a deep blue.Blue, but not too bright.
I am WAY WAY behind you, but I have a custom 300B amp coming up too... will be 8-9 months but will be worth the wait!!!By now I've named the 300b amp - Destiny !
Red. No question!Blue or red LED light above the power switch? I have a choice....

I have to figure out the name for it... I have a working name, but TBD if that will stick or not...
Red. No question!
...for unsolicited brand improvement...Alright you've got my attention. Really curious who you've chosen to make your 300b amp. As for the name, just pick a name and stick to it. Just don't call it GE. Might get sued !
Can't believe there's so much bagging on General Electric. It's the first company I work in when I started my working life in IT....for unsolicited brand improvement...
