  I completed my Starving Student a couple of days ago, using OldKing's case design and BOM. What fantastic little amp! It's a shame the tubes are becoming difficult to find, because this little guy is very musical for the money. It seems to be nice match for my late-production sextets. A big thank you to Pete for this amplifier, and to OldKing for the BOM!

  Nice! I'm gonna order parts for a build like that any day now.

  I plan on using a similar BOM. Question though... What does item 21 (Tube LED) do? Provide a cool lighting effect for the tubes or something?

  A few weeks ago I picked up a pair of NOS Sylvania 19J6s for $12 each at Fistell's here in Denver. At the time I thought it was bit of a rip-off, but grudgingly bought them anyway. Now, I'm glad I did. At the time, I think they had one or two left. The guy at Fistell's thought it was pretty strange that I was interested in this tube.

  Outstanding build OldKing! I really dig the heatsink/tube configuration. Thanks for posting your BOM too.
