Low voltage tubebuffer:all details you need

Good Design Bad Design and DIY: Entry to wonderful world of tube audio

for the schematic : its some 5components /per channel
only one capacitor and all are MFR(metal film resistors )

Tubes in Qty of 8, russian NOS with shipping 20$ some 900Rs

6N1P VI Made in The USSR 6DJ8 ECC88 6922 Lot of 8 | eBay

Power it with 24-0-24v 1Amp Ei transformer
after rectification 30V dual supply you can get.

Per buffer will not cost >600Rs.

So 8 members can do group build

Rs. 600 for tube buffer! Nothing to loose. I am in.

The url above has introduced me to something very interesting. Audio Diffmaker program.

Audio DiffMaker

I am quite interested in using this to test the effect of interconnect cables, power cords, etc. I have never seen any effect of changing cables using my ears on my system.

For the benefit of member, I am putting down what audio diffmaker can do. Game anyone?

Testing for audible effects of
Changing interconnect cables (compensation for cable capacitance may be required)
Different types of basic components (resistors, capacitors, inductors)
Special power cords
Changing loudspeaker cables (cable inductance may need to be matched or compensated)
Treatments to audio CDs (pens, demagnetizers, lathes, dampers, coatings...)
Vibration control devices
EMI control devices
Paints and lacquers used on cables, etc.
Premium audio connectors
Devices said to modify electrons or their travel, such as certain treated "clocks"
Different kinds of operational amplifiers, transistors, or vacuum tubes
Different kinds of CD players
Changing between power amplifiers
General audio "tweaks" said to affect audio signals (rather than to affect the listener directly)
Anything else where the ability to change an audio signal is questioned

Hi count me in. I am all for it.

Thanks & regards,

[yezdian]

for 600 bucks im in too

me to in count me

 

[kaushik]

Guys sm one initiate purchases..i will join.i m pretty piled up with office work.

 

[suraj]

Even im in,but,wouldnt it be better to try a prototype before a GB goes through?I agree jimmy auw has tried it(the picture in the OP is his),but still..?

 

[captrajesh]

Yes, someone who is familiar with importing kits must import one kit and make it. Who is that gonna be?

 

[omishra]

Along with this, I am interested in that silver interconnect GB too. What is the status of that. Can somebody please report the experience and difference in audio?

 

[novice-akki]

**Noob alert**

Have always been intrigued by tube based setups - problem is dont understand much, can someone please explain in layman terms...

Can you have a tube pre with chipamp based power amp or tube based power amp is required ?

Can the source be digital like CD player/Desktop PC etc or a TT record player is required ?

Thanks in advance.

 

[koushik]

Answer to first question is YES.

To your 2nd question, TT would need a phono stage boost. For all other sources like CD player, PC, Cassette Deck etc with decent level of output voltage will be accepted.

 

[novice-akki]

Please count me in for this GB if there's one happening !

bump!
did you figure out how to use it?im still confused and have got nowhere with the software
