After I published the first part in 2 months ago about planning to make 95A amplifier.
Now I finish these mono-block amplifiers with some modifications from original schematic.
1) Using main power transformer instead of connect directly to power outlet
2) Using 80 full-wave rectifier tube instead of parallel 25Z5 tubes
3) Replace 221B with 221G choke (higher inductance)
4) Add WE313CC as voltage regulator & bleeding tube
5) Add LC filter to each screen grid for make lower noise voltage
6) Change some resistor & capacitor values based on real characteristic tube's curve
Expand some holes to put Neutrik connector both AC inlet (powerCON) and XLR input.
Almost US made components except transformers & choke from P&C Japan.
All 43 tubes are Raytheon 4 pillar (engraved base), 80 tube from Visseaux (France).

It's sound very good especially instrumental. Transparency & good tonal balance.
Maybe need more burn-in time to get it's real sound.
Finally I finish this project and post to this blog within 2022.
Happy new year to everybody!
Cheers!!!
Incredible! Nicely done! You help me to learn more hahaha
