Welcome to the Hoffman Amps forum

There are many different boards on this forum for different topics.

The Tube Amp Building - Tweaks - Repairs board is where you can post amp questions.

That board is listed here.

Hi ,

I reply to you because we’re geographically close ( I’m in France but near the Frejus tunnel ) .
And, my aims are similar to yours - I have only tinkered (minor modifications) to existing amps so far . 
I’d like to build one . 

Good luck ,

M

@Etr300, Mahouligan,

Welcome.  This is a good place to learn. I stumbled in here about six years ago.  Many here are longtime amp builders but there are plenty of newer builders and everybody seems willing to pitch in and help.  Good luck!

PS: That 5F1n design is a good amp to start with, a good learning example.  Not too simple, not too complex.
