- Wonderful Workmanship - Would Like Schematics

Just got my copy of volume 06 and was blown away by the wonderfully detailed workmarship of Tyler Rourke's recreation of the Eintein Amplifier.
Aside from the extremely detailed chassis work the rest of the amp does not seem to use many exotic or hard to find parts (I can readily identify a 5U4 rectifier, two Sovtek 2A3 power tubes, etc.). I am an engineer and tube tech and this amp could be easily built on a breadboard in a week' or so of evening work.
Could Make ask Tyler to share the schematics with the rest of the maker community? This would be a wondeful way to keep alive both Einstein's memory and his appreciation of music (he was a skilled amateur violin player) as well as that of the engineer who designed it for him.
Feedback welcome,

- Details?

I loved this article, as I'm a huge tube audio nut. But there were no details about the actual circuit! Any chance of having some details posted, such as what tubes were used, operating voltages, transformer details, etc.? Or better yet, how about seeing a schematic?Posted by erikotis on May 16, 2006 at 07:45:52 Pacific Time
