Sold Out until middle of May 9-Pin Aikido Stereo 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 kit that includes everything needed to populate the PCB:
— One Aikido 9-pin stereo PCB (4" by 10")
— Four new tubes (Three tube options)
— Two 0.47µF, 500V, 10% paper-in-oil coupling capacitors
— Two high-quality polypropylene-film coupling capacitors
— Four electrolytic capacitors for heater bypassing
— All the resistors (either 5% 1W carbon-film or 1% 0.5W metal-film)
— Eight sets of PCB stand-offs and screws and O-rings
— Two 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 draws the least amount of heater current, 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 is only half of what is needed, it is a great start.
