[QUOTE="Mars, post: 83655, member: 817"] What a wonderfull response! I'll need a moment to consolidate all of this. Things I have noticed from previous workshops: [list] [*]It really helps to have some expertise in soldering. Traditionally you should build a little three watt 6V6GT single ended amp first to give you a feel for the task. Then you build a 18watt push-pull using your newly learnt skills and then you do the EL34/6L6GC push-pull amp for the sitting room. [*]I find it futile to lecture while someone is trying solder. I intend to keep the workshop mostly practical. Like for a factory worker in China (a lovely image ;D) : you get the instructions and you follow it without too much discussion. I'm there to get you unstuck when you get stuck around practical details. Getting stuck can put you in a space where a lot of time goes by before the solution presents itself. [*]You do not need to know more theory than Ohm's law. All the calculations can be made after the amp is built and you tweak the voltages/components to suit your speakers/ears/music [*]I agree that the kit should be well enough presented, so that it can be built by yourself at home. The workshop is really for people who benefits from being in a space where "those who say it cannot be done" cannot bother "those who are doing it" [/list] [/QUOTE]
