Hi All

Last year Akomeogi built a DIY clone of the Rogers Cadet III amplifier. I planned to do another clone sometime since, and it got completed last week.

This time I integrated a phono preamp into the build. I chose the RCA design and it turned out well.

Amplifier specifications

  • ECL86 output tubes
  • two ECC83 phono preamp
  • 10 watts per channel into 4 or 8 ohms
  • C-core output transformers
  • point to point wiring
  • switcheable line level/phono input selection

The amplifier sounds stunning. It was tested on a set of Tannoy speakers, and the report was very positive :groovy:
