How to build Stereo Tube Amplifier
November 9, 2010 - category: Audio amplifierDescription
The circuit is simple, yet is capable of excellent performance. I designed it specifically for use as an amplifier for the digital sound card in my computer. Audio input can be from any two-channel line level device such as a television, CD player, or VCR. It is of the tube type, using only 5 tubes total with no more than about 45 Watts power consumption from the outlet. It uses 3 types of tube 1 5Y3 GT vacuum rectifier, 2 6SF5 GT high-mu triodes, and 2 6K6 power beam amplifiers. These are all full-size octal type tubes which are commonly available today for between $3-5 each.

Notes:
- Email Weslee Kinsler with questions, comments, etc.
- The 6V6 GT tube may be substituted for the 6K6 to lower power requirements.
- C8 is for radio interference suppression and may be omitted.
- The 5Y3 GT tube should be mounted in a vertical position and be well ventilated. The 6K6 and 6SF5 tubes can be mounted in any position.
- Controls should have an audio taper.
- The power supply portion of this unit may be used for anything requiring 290-320v DC up to about 3 amps.
