Custom Vacuum Tube Pre-Amp and Power Amplifier | DIY | Nobsound Pre-Amp / ICE Power 200ASC + 200AC

[@incredifunk]

What a novel idea. To have your amplifier and preamp in a wooden case made by yourself. How cool is that

[@sonnoradesign]

Right?!! They have my favorite look!!!

[@califmike2003]

Have done wood working for 20 years, you do nice work man. Love the look of those amps, making me wish i still had my wood shop.

[@sonnoradesign]

Hey!! Thanks for watching! I can’t imagine my sad life without a shop. So happy there!!

Very good project!!! The SonoMarantz series is already on my list of projects, thanks for sharing your pasion, greetings

ICE power was incubated by Bang & Olufsen before being spun off. There are original boards and Chinese copies. I build with one ICEPower 125ASX2 per speaker.

[@sonnoradesign]

That’s right! Those are really good amps. The 125 works well and pretty accessible. Can be bridges as well. Thanks

[@derekjarman1638]

Looking good!!!

[@sonnoradesign]

Alright!!!

[@tallpaull9367]

Next, you have to try the newer Icepower AS series amps. Big step up. ie: Dual mono 200AS1

[@sonnoradesign]

Yeah! I had this one but sure. I'm in! Gonna check it out. Thanks

[@tallpaull9367]

@@sonnoradesign For a future project, check out PecanPi Streamer board with Volume control. I'm going to build dual 200AS1 with PecanPi streamer in one case. I have already been using a PecanPi streamer and its good.

[@sonnoradesign]

Hey Paul. Yes man, I’m gonna start messing with those soon!!!

Good job

Thanks

[@brianpacheco1927]

Why not combine all into one box so you have an integrated amp? I think that would be another cool upgrade from this.

[@frankd.b.9233]

You need to test the Heco Aurora 300 dudes its nice, b.t.w nice build bbut d man...

[@ludovicthomas630]

Good Job :)

[@sonnoradesign]

Thanks 😁

[@BostonMike68]

That came out awesome. I would love to build it but I don't think I'm ready for something like that yet. I don't understand why the power amp needs 2 amps.

[@sonnoradesign]

Thanks my friend!! Time will come! One of the boards has the power supply that feeds both amps. One per channel.

[@BostonMike68]

[@sonnoradesign]

Thanks my friend!!!

[@JamesBeggs-h5t]

How about a nice two peace phono pre-amp that can drive a low output moving coil cartridge? I'd love to build something like that but do not have the knowledge to do it.

[@sonnoradesign]

Well, I’d have to say that I don’t either!!! I’ll have to study a little further for a phono pre amp!!

[@BostonMike68]

Hello, I was thinking about building the ice amp and wanted to know how you like the sound of the ice, thanks

[@sonnoradesign]

Hello Mike. I really like those amps. Matched with a tube pre amp sounds great. Very powerful and clean, sensible too, so easy to blow the board. Remember to have them plugged to the speakers before powering it up. Lot of manufacturers use them so it pretty much sounds like a bang olufsen or a peach tree…

[@BostonMike68]

@@sonnoradesign I know that a lot of companies use them and they are a lot of power for not to much money and I thought it would be a fun project, thanks and I hope you are doing good,

[@sonnoradesign]

@@BostonMike68 thanks My friend! It’s a good deal for sure! All good here, hope you are well!

[@Ferdy-Perezlara]

Muy buen trabajo, nos puedes explicar qué capacidad tiene el amplificador, y hay alguna alternativa para mandar el sonido estereofónico a las bocinas de manera inalámbrica? Con Bluetooth? Eso estaría genial, así puedo tener 4 bocinas, 2 en la sala y 2 en el comedor sin cables

[@sonnoradesign]

Yes. There is a way to have multiple speakers and control all of them through the arylic app. Check the arylic website to see the options. There is a link on the description. Thanks again!!!

[@Ferdy-Perezlara]

@@sonnoradesign Gracias Bernardo, me haz ayudado más de lo que te imaginas, te cuento mi idea, quiero hacer 10 bafles totalmente inalámbricos pero que tengan conexión, ya vi que con Arylic es muy fácil, solo tengo un problema, quiero que la energía la provea una batería recargable, así no habría ningún cable para que funcionen en una fiesta en un jardín, o en un recinto para una conferencia, las bocinas las quiero hacer de 3 vías Focal, en madera de Zapote muy dura y pesada, cualquier comentario que me ayude para mi es muy valioso, me gusto mucho el programa de Arylic para modificar las frecuencias de las bocinas, creo que con esto ya no se necesita un crossover, pero. Dime tú qué opinas ???? Saludos cordiales desde Cancún Fernando Perez 🔈

[@sonnoradesign]

Hey Fernando. This is a big project man. There are some battery modules that you can attach to feed the amplifiers. Depending on how much power you want, you will need a lot of batteries. Keep it simple, I’d say.

Thanks for watching Stephen. I do sell it. Let’s connect on Instagram @sonnoradesign

[@frankgeeraerts6243]

Did you check that the clone is the same exact circuit of a real 7 preamp...?

[@sonnoradesign]

Hey Frank, thanks for watching. I didn’t check the circuit. Should I trust Ali Express?? 😆

[@frankgeeraerts6243]

You can trust yourself and verify it ! For your info : The model 7 used Telefunken as part of the sound. Anyway a very nice job, i like it !@@sonnoradesign

[@sonnoradesign]

That’s interesting! I had never heard a real Marantz 7. Thanks for the input my friend!!

[@williamcanada6195]

Hello, Belated Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays !! You used walnut, in your opinion could Oak work ? Also, Bitch or equivalent plywood !! Nice job as Usual ! Bill from Northeastern France !!

[@sonnoradesign]

Hey Bill. Yes! Any hardwood or ply would work. Up to your taste. Thanks man

[@kft590]

ECC83 is the British version of the American 12AX7 they are equivalent tubes. Telefunken and Mullard are superior to RCA and Sylvania Tubes.

[@sonnoradesign]

Thanks my friend!! Great input!!

[@wrongIQ]

Or Soviet 6N2P (6Н2П in russian)

[@wyup]

Amazing build! I was also thinking of pairing a Nobsound NS-01P tube preamp, acting as gain and input buffer to a Purifi based amp. However, Nobsound says NS-01P output impedance is 50kΩ, too high for Purifi 2.2kΩ unbuffered input impedance and ICEPower 200ASC which is 10kΩ. There is no minimum 10:1 impedance bridge to drive the amp. How did you solve this?

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

prob same as jh7, your best bet is to wait for their real limited anniversary release which i assume will be better than entry ciems, since tm9 sort of mass produced

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

next year is their 15th so prob anv5 incoming

[@wyup]

but IcePower boards do include a buffer?

[@Douglas_Blake_579]

I think you'll find an error somewhere along the information chain. A pre-amp with a 50k output impedance would be right next door to useless, the line level losses would swamp it something awful. Far more likely the output impedance is 50 ohms (no k) which is far more typical of these designs.

[@wyup]

@s_Blake_579 Tube preamps' output impedance usually go around 2K (Fosi P3, MP-701). Shiit Freya is 75 ohms SE / 600 ohms BAL though.

[@williamcanada6195]
