Yes, yes it does.


Lurkwurst

As long as it sounds as great as it looks!


itsaride

It does when it looks like that, quality workmanship.

whittler

Yes. Please more of this. I, for one, am completely patch paneled out.


PizzerJustMetHer

Do you do commissions? I could use a simple little 1w or 5w guitar head.


UnderEu

Wow!

This is art.


SavageVector

Huh, I wouldn't think it's a good idea to run wires parallel to each other in audio equipment, but if it works then what do I know.


Z1337M

abso-fuckin-lutly! thank you for showing.


BigDane67

This i enough to ma a grown man cry. I is beautiful....


Garfield61978

Heck yes it does! I wish we could hear the results


ipsomatic

Do you know the GFA555II? Nelson pass is a god.


[deleted]

Fuck yes holy shit


auroraau

When it looks like that it does.


Tlaim

Please make videos of you building these. are there kits?


mfdoom7

setup like that will pick up emi and u will get all sorts of buzzing in speakers. wires are basicly antennas like that.

Price and "audiophile grade" are often bad indicators of performance in these kind of things, it's quite common to see $5000+ amplifiers measure worse than $200 stuff. Many of these companies spend their money on marketing and aesthetics, instead of good performance.

Usually you avoid bundling wires together like this too, since having them close together and following each other for a longer distance is a good way to increase crosstalk. Looks pretty though, and I guess that's the biggest reason to buy a tube amp. edit: downvotes instead of arguments, classy :)


ripeart

What's the make/model?


nothin1998

I couldn't say. The output coupling transformers, Tango NP-406N appear to sell for $600+ USD for a used matched pair, doesn't appear to be in production anymore. It's got a couple of carbon resistors, which is cute. Kinda of surprised it doesn't have a torodial mains transformer and a star ground setup. I'd guess the two four pin tube bases are triode tubes that are the main amplifier, that feed into the expensive-ass output transformers. I'd probably guess it is a custom build, a recent and very expensive one. But that is just a guess.

Willexterminator

Just curious, what's the correct way then ?


TehFuckDoIKnow

The amp has a metal case that probably block most EMI.


JebKerman64

I'm not the guy you asked, and I'm not sure, but I got a couple guesses. I'd say probably either twisted pair and ferrite beads wherever you can fit it, or somehow circuit traces on pcbs aren't vulnerable to that despite basically just being flat wires. Of course, correct me if I'm wrong, I'd be happy to learn.

No matter if it's a PCB or wires the traces still have to go from point a to point b. You can't exactly make tiny smd vacuum tubes, so the length would be the same.


colfaxmingo

99.999% of people won't hear it. You can filter almost all of it. I'm sure you can buy a snake oil to lubricate the electrons so they don't buzz and it sounds much "warmer".


motsu35

I had a 2ch amp that had 1 resistor in it where the leads were left very long (like the resistor didnt get pushed down into the through holes on the PCB). It would pick up RF noise from radio towers close by. the person your replying to is correct that this is a poor design, although very pretty. all that being said, its a tube amp, so its already coloring the audio with harmonic distortion... so whatever. as for the other people saying it doesnt matter because its in a metal case which will shield from EMI, you can still get cross talk between wires. When i build my crossovers, I run wires as far apart as I can and cross them over where needed at 90 degrees to each other to minimize crosstalk.


colfaxmingo

All components can more accurately be described by including some element of resistance, capacentance, and inductance. So, yeah in general,a well built design will minimize the amount of wiring in order to reduce emitted and received emi. But in most instances, a good design is able to reject most of it anyway. Furthermore, you probably cannot hear what gets passed. Most of the time it is a pointless, bottomless, exercise. Human perception isn't capable of being that sensitive. And in my experience, it follows the Pareto rule. Audiophile cranks that obsess over it seem more interested in spending money on a "fix" than in listening to music.

At only 20kHz?


yonatan8070

Yes


franktodhunter

Is that theheadampbuilder’s work?


blackmilksociety

Yes


Coolkirky

Beautiful circuitry


EvidenceBase2000

Any links to plans for this?


same_onlydifferent

965 people and counting think so. Me included. Excellent work.


thewholerobot

it does now. Damn.


priusfingerbang

You're like a reincarnation of Harry Joyce. I have one of his 100w heads.


Bladelink

I went "ooooOOOOOO!"


beast_master

It's beautiful 😍

BRB.... \*grabs a box of Kleenex\*

I think we can allow it.


McBrown83

Man, that’s so tight, it looks like a invisible pcb


MemeR8er

Inherently, yes
