Hi Everyone,
Here's a link to a couple of pictures of my first Eiclone.

Hope the link works OK. I used Uncle Ned's transformers and they're beautiful and beefy. I have not fired it up yet but will do so later this evening and I can't wait to hear it. All resistance checks are fine so I've got to set the bias and then go from there. I still have to hook up the center tap fuse once the RTV dries.
I'm building three of these for a tube style home theater system just for the fun of it. I'm using the ST-35 I built earlier for listening now and it just gets better and better. I'm loving it. It will eventually be used for the rear channels. Of course, I'll pull it out from time to time to do some more suitable duty than rear channels. I have a Sony DVD player with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder. Not audiophile, but it sounds pretty darn good. It also does DTS. It will feed all these amps direct. Lots of knobs to tweak! I'll work on that problem later. Others have already suggested a multiple unit pot on the same shaft.
I'll post some more pictures when I get the other two done but it might be a while. At least a couple of weeks. Thanks Shannon for some really great amps and projects. After I finish all of this the next project will be an off-the-wall 832 transmitting tube stereo amp - again just for the fun of it and for something unusual to put in my office. I have a pile of 832's and have ordered some transformers already.
Regards to all those on the forum. Hope you're having as much fun as I am! Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_12
