Dual Mono EL84 Push Pull Power Amp
02.15.06

My home stereo amp! Built in a rush with chokes that have been sitting on the side of Jef Brown’s house for almost a decade, some startup amp company’s leftover power transformer, and output transformers from my old Voice of Music stereo amp. The input stage chokes are Twin Reverb replacements.
All filter caps are Solen brand ‘Fast Caps’ which give a good detailed low-end response that doesn’t flub out. Currently it has RCA 6SL7’s handling the input buffer and phase inverter duties, JJ EL-84’s in the power section, and 2 ‘potato masher’ 5R4’s in the power supply. Originally It had a pair of Mullard 5AR4’s doing the rectification, but it seemed to have a more fluid low-end with the 5R4’s. I like bass!
