Amplifier porn

Agree it's cool, but seems like it should have a sticker saying "no user serviceable parts inside" or something.

 

No serviceable parts! Or... All the parts are serviceable: we dare you!

File this one under jewellery? Oh wait, it's already filed under porn.

 

... and now for something completely different, the appropriately named Kronzilla

 

It's a shame about the brass rings, otherwise looks rather nice.

Trafomatic Elysium, with 250TL and it will help you in winter as well

 

Here's a close up:

 

TMR CMA1

 

... and for for her next trick, watch those vacuum tubes disappear!

 

Yamaha S3000 for the modern VU meter enthusiasts.

 

Yes, it's a speaker amp too ...



... well at least now it has 300Bs back in it.

And as requested ... the output and tube-switching keys:



Will replace with a better shots, inc. passive speakers, a bit later today ... once the light gets nice.

 

Those actually kind of go together. Something Capt. Nemo would have on the Nautilus.

 

Or Bill Murray in...

 

Couple of Trafomatic amps, made in Serbia.

 

Those Woo monoblocks were always super easy on the eyes to me. I might be the weirdo, but I also got the tingles seeing the box of tube keys for rolling tube types. May I request a shot of that too?

edit - also good call on going with the black w/ silver accenting, its the superior look over the silver with black...

 

Added to the original post ... bit rough-and-ready, but I'll replace with better shots when I get a few.

The 300B and "Cathode Output, Low-Z" switching keys are in the amp. No idea what the spare space in the case is for. Maybe there was another option for the Mk1 version of the amp (this is the Mk2 which, among other changes, swaps the 6SN7 signal tubes for 13EM7).

I had silver for the WA5-LE, it worked well enough for the stack I was running at the time (which included Ragnarok and Yggdrasil). But a fair bit of other stuff either doesn't look that great in silver, or wasn't available at all, so I went black this time around.

 

@Torq would you mind making a complete separate thread about your mono blocks on operation and photos? I don't quite understand the whole system and it's capabilities even reading articles...lol.

@TwoEars those are stunning!

 

A local maker I just stumbled on, Gabri's Amp (lit. Gabe's Amp)




50w dual mono SET integrated "Calypso 845"




"Aventador 845" SET headphone amp, 6-position Zout selector, 15wpc

 

I can do that.

 

Which 300B are those?
