gstew Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 The amps I REALLY want to build from this thread on DIYAudio: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/tubes-valves/232484-midlife-crisis-833c-amp-build.html Magz (Maxamillion on Audio Asylum) IS MY HERO! 833C single-ended, about 100 WPC, nearly 3000V B+, using Monolith Magnetics output transformers costing about 2000 Euro each. He said the build for a pair was about a $10,000 including a couple of PS Audio P5 regenerators besides acting as pre-regulators, also provide a very constant AC input to the amps. I realized that building them would consume my life for a year or two. And if I slipped with that B+, it would kill me so fast I wouldn't even know I died. And with my old bad back, I couldn't even move them around, much less lift them. So I bought a couple of PS Audio BHK-250s at the Black Friday Sale price for an almost $2,000 savings! Still, I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame... someday!!! STC 1 Everything Matters! 2 systems...

My DIY builds would never win any beauty contests. Greg in Mississippi STC 1 Everything Matters! 2 systems...
