Whiskey River: STM800

[cooder]

Did you trial it so far into poweramp input (bypassing pre amp) or into pre amp of tube amp and how did the volume output work out?

Looks awesome Jason.  I've got mine populated, just need to find the time to build it.
Where did you get those tube protectors.  I've seen some on eBay but they come from China and I have doubts about the quality and finish of those...

Beautiful, but pricey. I guess, you could DIY them too

Just stunning! I've not even started mine yet.

They're China eBay guards. Took a couple weeks to get here. I knew I'd be building one months ago, so I had time to gather everything. The faceplate was etched a couple months ago.

My amp doesn't have a loop, so I used a 100KA master pot and been running it right into the input/preamp. There's a lot of output available, but it's not drastically more than a lot of other solid state drive boxes I've built.

Beautiful build.  Those protectors are great, too.  Well done, man.

Great build! Exciting seeing some Tubez light up!!! It will be fun seeing all the build reports trickle through! I gotta get started on mine.

Frequency Central did that a while back with sub mini tubes over on DIYSB. I think it was called the vibra caster or vintage vibe or something like that. I don't know if there was ever a pcb made or anything but I remember multiple layouts and veros for it.

So impressive.

[midwayfair]

Awwww yiiiissssss.

[pickdropper]

That is pretty amazing.  It's a great effort from top to bottom.

I love the etch background design
