Hi guys,
I am soooo in love with the sweet sound of my A10 that decided to keep going in my learning journey and take another step in this path. What would you suggest as a next step: Try to build the K120 monoblocs or the budget 300B?
As a newbie, is the challenging too big for any of these projects? What are the sound characteristics of each one of them? And also in terms of budget, is the K120 much more expensive to build? I had a look on the K120 transformers and only them will cost around 2,000 AUD, on the other hand the 300B valves cost a fair bit as well.Thank you so much for any inputs.
Kind regards,
Alex.
Hey, George!!
What exactly do you mean by gut the A30?
I can read schematics and follow them asking questions here and there until complete a project. However, I do not know tube electronics to understand how to change the A30 into a 300B. In that case I will need your guys help.
After saying that, this could be a great project as the price for the A50, delivered here in Austrália is around AUD 1,470.00 and the A30 is around AUD 790.00.
Depending on the costs of the change, that could be an incredible bargain.
If you and/or Skunkie will be interested in such a project, I will be happy to be a guinea pig for the development and adjusts along the way, following your steps.
Does it make sense?
Alex.
