THIS IS THE ENGINEER, RON ANDERSON

In these pages we will present , first, a great little tube amp with terrific quality, and fully adequate power at 3 1/2 Watts per channel, for the average den or living room. And following that, we will present the latest design of a discrete component FET type amplifier, with phenomenally low distortion, and more than sufficient power at 20 watts per channel.

This site is for all those who find audio systems, home theatre systems, vacuum tube amplifiers, and solid state amplifiers a fascinating and rewarding experience. This is a unique website inasmuch as you will discover the positive features of both the retro technology of the halcyon days of yore ~ and also the many advantages regarding the latest advancements in solid state audio technology.
This all began with myself and a retired electronics engineer sitting in a large choir and noticing, between us, that the sound system of the church was in  sore need of improvement.
It started a years long collaboration of research, development; the gathering of parts, test equipment, books; and starting some experiments of our own ( after building a few of the other's plans ).
What surprised us most,...(after we began hearing full, rich, clear music, finding ourselves, so to speak, in the 'front rows of a live concert'...with the cello over there, the voice here, the trumpets back there)...was the thrill of it all! It was truly eyebrow rasing for each of us. For we had forgotten what good sound quality through a device could "feel" like! It reintroduced the thrill of music for us; and too, the sensation of being in the "walk in moving picture show" ! 

The whole experience has made our lives more full and enjoyable. We believe it can for you as well; whether you buy a system already asembled , or try to assemble one yourself...which, of course, is the most rewarding experience of all.

Here we hope to offer information, resources, or rather links to resources-and a few amps built by hand from us. We are just a couple of guys . Our schematics were developed painstakingly over much time; and are therefore closely guarded secrets, naturally.
The unique feature of this particular CD & DVD amp are the use of genuine 50 and 60 year old vacuum tubes. To date, these tubes are not being remanufactured anywhere. To show off these rare and special tubes, we set them up in a hand built wood and brass cabinet, with some 52 precision cuts, and about as many precision holes to drill, and chassis punches for the tube sockets. Not altogether clearly seen is a jack for wireless headphones, and switch for silent listening pleasure at night.  Also not seen are a set of  12 LED's which light progessively to indicate the approximate  wattage out, Wide open at 3 1/2 watts per channel may sound pusilanimous to the novice; but trust me - your wife will want you to keep it down to one watt per channel.  All circuit designs are the intellectual property of our engineer, Mr. Anderson.

On the right here is the "SS2";  push pull  FET solid state amp.- tweaked and adjusted for months until a distortion  at 7 thousandths of one percent one watt , one KHz has been accomplished= a phenomenal achievment by Mr. anderson, and maintains low distortion ( under .02%) over the entire audio range. The result is the musical "presence" of performers within your room...  the legendary 3-D sound stage-whereby one closes ones eyes and can hear the guitarist over there, the vocalist over there, the viol back there. An amazing amp.

Many of you, myself included, are used to a website with "add to cart", "checkout" - that sort of thing. You won't find that here, for this is a hobby. You order by the "contact us" link on the "contact us" page.We do have a few finished amps on hand and offer these for sale. If you are new to the retro technology of vacuum tube amps, you may be curious as to why they cost so much. Easy : Just the four transformers ( for the 500 volts ) cost approx $500. The tubes are 50 year old antiques no longer manufactured. ( pricey) . Even capacitors and resistors ( many of them ! ) are $5 to $30 each-since they must withstand 500 volts. All the parts are costly, and it takes 6 to 8 weeks to build one, and test it thoroughly. Ask yourself how much you expect to be paid for 6 weeks of work - then you understand that these are very low in price compared to "corporation made amps" with high overhead, and employee costs. We are retired, remember. WE work cheap! This is a hugely good deal. They don't make them any better anywhere.
