SORRY SOLD OUT Aikido Dual-Mono Line Stage Amplifier Kit
Product Description
A complete kit for those who need a bit more help in building their giant-killer line stage amplifier. New Aikido complete kit that includes everything needed to populate the two PCBs:
— Two Aikido 9-pin mono PCBs (4" by 6")
— Four new tubes (Three tube set options)
— Two 0.47µF, 500V, 10% paper-in-oil coupling capacitors
— Two Auricap 0.68µF 450V polypropylene-film coupling capacitors
— Two electrolytic capacitors for heater bypassing
— All the resistors (either 5% 1W carbon-film or 1% 0.5W metal-film)
— Ten sets PCB stand-offs and screws and o-rings
— Four supporting power-supply capacitors (0.68µF, 400V, Wima, polypropylene-film)
— Four ceramic PCB-mount tube sockets
— One rotary output-capacitor selector switch
— Super strong double sided tape to hold coupling capacitors in place
— 12-Page instruction booklet
The 6CG7/E88CC tube set offers the lowest output impedance. The all 6CG7 tube sett gives a smoother sound and medium output impedance. And the all ECC802 tube set delivers a softer sound and draws the least amount of heater current (12.6Vdc @ 0.6A or 6.3Vdc @ 1.2A), but presents a higher output impedance.
All that is needed to finish the entire line stage is a chassis, power supply, volume and input selector controls, and a handful of RCA jacks and hookup wire. Although the Aikido PCB kit isn't all that is needed, it is a great start.
Currently out of stock of the mono PCBs, but a new shipment of PCBs is on the way.
