Mars Companion 100 watt tube amplifier

Hi All

We have a new design in our catalogue Construction is in process. Here is some photos of the boxes just returned from the lettering company. What do you think of the yellow on black look?

We are building a series of Companions with new design transformers and power supply.

Here is a photo of the new (larger) next to the older design output transformer. The smaller design works well with the Kit 2 amplifier rated at 35 watt per channel. The new design is rated at 50 watt which is more in line with KT88 fixed bias push-pull amplifiers.

Corrected heading from 70w to 100w, as per Karel's request.

Very smart.

The beast is playing. Transformer covers are ready at the engineers, but here's a sneak peak at the works:

Very nice Karl. Well done!

Karel, very nice to see you going for it with higher power designs.

Your post-assembly pics reveal that some lettering should be re-positioned. I would recommend minimising your labels, like using R and L instead of RIGHT and LEFT. Also, keep away from edges, as the bending seems to have left a radius which distorts the letters.

I like your front logo most of all.
