Alex has put together a single ended (SE) KT88 tube amp. His design was based around Mikael Abdellah's KT88 SE Tube Amplifier design from 2003. Alex has made some changes, such as the ability to switch the amplifier between triode and ultra-linear operation. A picture of his finished KT88 tube amp is shown below.
Alex has done some experimentation with different tubes. EL34 tubes can be used in place of the KT88 valves. The preamplifier tube is a 6N1P, but the 6DJ8 / ECC88 / E88CC family of tubes can be used instead. The power supply uses a 5U4-GB dual rectifier tube.

The DIY Audio Projects website has been updated with a new template and some new categories. The general layout of the website has remained the same, but the new template should load quicker and cleanly across all browsers. The previous template did not load on some MAC browsers. To improve navigation through the site, a navigation bar has been added near the top of the page.
There is some new information on the site which includes:For the time being, new content is limited to some NAD schematics and a short page on Aperiodic Speaker Enclosures. However, some new projects and additional information will be added shortly.
