How I wanted to build a huge Single Ended amp. And ended up in building a very small one using only the driver stage, with one tube and a dozen of other components. Monday, 12 January 2009. The first one is ready! Send it of on a long journey. All the way to America. Wants to have brothers and sisters. Derek made some sides for it. Monday, 24 November 2008. Quite a few people have shown interest in the Little Amp.

Look what I found now! These are just absolutely huge! This is going to be THE SE. Friday, 28 March 2008. All the components together on a plank. It is absolutely HUGE! And very heavy too. I guess it needs to be like this. You get a 25W SE triode and it weight over 60Kg. Does this have anything to do with the fact that tube amps became unpopular? Friday, 21 March 2008. Back to the EIMAC 100TH. Need a new pre-amp since the other one ended up as power amp.

Tuesday, 27 May 2008. Put all the signs on. With the signs a bit off the wood, there is a nice shadow. Sunday, 25 May 2008. It is still very big. If you decide to make the first real time analogue planetarium. You better expect it to be big. Now I need a new house. Friday, 23 May 2008. Then Marcel laughed at me. After a minor correction they were ready to be cut out.

Monday, 24 March 2008. En I was much younger, I thought loud speakers were boxes. That was why you called them boxes. I build quite a few. And was reasonably happy with the results. Then I bought 4 huge and old Electro Voice SP15B on E-bay. They sat there for a while, getting older. Did not really know what to do with them. Make a bass unit? I already built a Klipsch Eckhorn. You do not need more bass ever egain. While my tube amps were getting smaller, i needed more efficiency.

Wednesday, 28 May 2008. Mounted the old Phillips meters. So 6kV is 1 hour. And on the other meter 6kV is 12 hours. At the rear, pulsing against the wall, there is a red LED. Makes the clock look alive! And it keeps the burglars at bay too. Monday, 14 April 2008. This is an old mine on a small island off the west coast of Scotland.

And can repair anything else. Charles has no internet, you have to drive there. Ones that need a clean up. Check out some of the pics. Or go here to see some more.

Sunday, 21 December 2008. Yes, yes, yes. And I had not forgotten. It is just that you need the grab the right moment. Not every moment is the rigth one. The meter, an old bakalite Pillips kV meter. Needs a bit of getting used to. Thursday, 13 September 2007. To measure time I could use an old analogue panel voltmeter.

Wednesday, 12 September 2007. Why does it exist? Where did it come from? Why do we measure it? I want to measure it too. Build a machine to measure it. Watch it, show it. Just build a time measuring machine. Huygens, pendulum, weight, movement. That should work, I think. Make it out of Quartz. So you get rid of all temperature problems at once. Luckily there is one of the last quartz. A friend of mine has a lathe.
