with a lot of help from my friends :)

Walnut woodwork done by a good friend in New Jersey.
Hammond box for the Power supply
Copper plate 2.5mm thick. Design by me and cut by Frontpanel Express in the USA
Power supply: Edcor XPWR131 - 240
Choke: James Audio 10H 200MA choke
Output: James Audio 6123HS
Selector and attenuation: Goldpoint

Absolutely silent on my 95dB sensitivity LothX speakers.

Putting out about 7.5W which is plenty in the space I have it in.

Absolutely beautiful!
It's a real credit to you. Well done.
I especially like the volume control graduations: "Quiet" to "Loud". No Spinal Tap nonsense there!
What 300Bs are you using?

And I forgot to add, it took me 5 years overall (though we did relocate from the US to the UK in that time but that isn't a valid excuse; just ask my wife :rolleyes: )

So you always have time "Mr Healey"!
 
Thank you Martin.

Lordmortlock, they are the Ion BS1. Cracking little performers that just need a small sub paired with them as they struggle when the music demands they go below 60hZ - I'm looking at the REL Zero V2 running on high level connection.

At some point I might build some Frugel Horns with the new Markaudio 11MS drivers. They should be much quicker as I don't have to worry about electrocuting myself :cool:
 
Looks very nicely done! A very interesting Teac record deck too, I’ve never seen one of those before!
 
I also loved the volume control "instructions". Brought about a need to play some early Kings of Convenience.

Very, very pretty!

Yeah the TEAC is a fascinating thing and I am lucky to own two (I bought the one in view as 'new in box' and another used one for spares if I ever need them). The plinth was made by the same friend who did the walnut on the amp. We used plyboo https://www.plyboo.com/products/dimensional-lumber which is an interesting material and a complete bu**er to work on he told me. It comes in at 50lbs per cubic ft so you can imagine how heavy the plinth is. The TEAC weighs 8.5kg.

I have attached a link to a sheet of info I copied from a Japanese website that tells a bit of the history and design of the TEAC.

Well I guess with only 7 and a bit watts Quiet IS the new Loud ;)

Sadly I didn't quite get the measurements correct on the laser cutting so the 'Loud' is slightly abridged on the L and the d but it communicates what it needs to!

Thanks for the kind comment; I do love copper ya know :)
 
Very nice!!

For some reason I only saw "<quiet" and not "loud>" first time round and thought it must be designed for the ladies :D
