The satisfaction of doing it yourself as well as the often substantial savings available can be very satisfying.

And now there is Amp Camp, a supervised workshop that guarantees your success!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmp Camp caters for all hobbyists, from those who may never have lifted a soldering iron all the way to trained radio engineers and electricians.

It is about the practical rather than the theoretical. The objective is to successfully build your own tube amp. Your first camp day therefore starts with a short course in Soldering for mastering the techniques and avoiding the pitfalls, which if not understood, may compromise the project’s outcome. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"_Toc141965439\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eOnsite Facilities\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmp Camp offers a dedicated, air conditioned, purpose-built workshop facility complete with coffee and music as well as a sumptuous lunch, sourced from one of our favourite local eateries.

Supply and installation service for two (2) Lundahl LL2785C amorphous core output transformers for Elekit TU8900.
The quality of a tube amplifier’s OPTs is extremely important, especially so for single-ended amplifiers. Design is all important as an air gap in the transformer is needed to prevent transformer core saturation, which would cause audible distortion and other problems. Herein lies the challenge: having an air gap lowers the inductance, which compromises low-frequency response yet to increase the inductance requires adding more windings, which adversely affects the high-frequency response.
Sweden's Lundahl is a specialist designer and manufacturer of high performance transformers.
