Another masterpiece from the great "Iron Man"! ;D
Congratz sir Edrel!
As to the owner, you have a good reason to stay home once you take R&R from the ship!
btw, I wonder what AT&S stands for ??? bka may magtanong sa akin, kasi di ko po tinanggal yung nakadikit sa OPT's ko, ;)

11460 alex, dynaco's (and even acrosound) original size was 11450, i have made it thicker because they are using M3, mine is M6..

with teflon couplings between primary and secondary windings i am sure it will be good. :D :D

I have a single Acrosound OPT for a PP KT88, what can I do with it?

I have tried eBay to source for another one, no luck.

sir edrel,

now i see why your OPT's can be considered export quality, it got that european touch 8) Swiss/Germans in particular are very strict when it comes to quality, even the smallest details are thoroughly scrutinized.

williamson po yung amp na ito using 6SN7s as driver and phase splitter with few modifications. maganda po yang W4M, meron akong W5M using GEC KT66s and it sounds fantastic.

i am just awaiting a few more parts from imports and i can put it all together na..

schematic here:
http://www.freeinfosociety.com/electronics/schemview.php?id=493

this amp uses 5881/6L6 or a KT66 for an output of 25Wpc in push pull. i would not mess up with the amp just to have an increase of few power. the most logical approach is to match the amp to a fairly sensitive speaker. look for suitable ones in the vicinity of 90db and up sensitivity.
