    I'm guessing that their schematics are a closely held secret, unless you want to deconstruct a version of the amp yourself... There are many proven tube amp designs posted online, why don't you try something from DIYaudio?

    as there is a plethra of information to be had here it really is about all i can do to have to sift the **** of about a dozen of the same folks time after time just to get a small piece of information. i appologise if im abrasive to the others. its not my intention even to those that are a bit of a pain. im thinking its a case of hard sense of humor, abrasiveness and general understanding that if someone doesnt have something nice to say i generally dont hesitate to tell them how worthless they are to me. all of which i have been told many times before. though i mean no offense to you i cant possibly believe these individuals havent heard the stfu before and just do it to get a rise. i wil try that diyaudio that zingo suggested. i only want about 15 watts per channel. its just time to tube! thanks for the info zingo and thanks to you assim. i dig the heads up but honestly im bored with that crowd and have moved to other things.

    Call EveAnna Manley. I'm sure she would be willing to share that proprietary information with you. :rolleyes:

    its the shape i like so really any good amp design can be shaped anyway you like just a matter of wiring and corresponding lengths for frequencies. i doubt it would be free for the info eh lol

    Ms Manley probably would prefer that you not abuse her intellectual property; and Ms Manley isn't one to be messed with. The Stingray seems to be very reasonably priced for what it is. I wish she had a push-pull EL84 stereo amp (a half-Stingray); I'd likely buy one straight away.

    Just build one of these; basically the same thing. You will need output iron for a push-pull parallel EL84 load; Heyboer can probably wind you some (they probably made the originals for EICO). You'll need two circuits for stereo; it's an integrated mono amp.

    The EICO fanboy Yahoo group probably has the schematic and maybe the manual as well.
