Wannes,
Good advice, and that's the reason I asked in the
first place. A schematic isn't nearly enough for an
inexperienced builder (like me), and even most layouts
are too vague to insure a smooth build. I was hoping
to find a more detailed project that listed the right
transformers to use, test data, etc. Hoffman's site
() has what I was looking
for.
As for cost, you're certainly right. I always get a
kick out of new amp builders who list their reason for
building an amp as "to save money." I've accumulated a
lot of parts, so I don't have to buy everything for
just one project. Plus I enjoy it, and learn a lot.
Thanks for the input.
