I put a number of hours on the Elekit TU-879S, enough to fully consume the stock EH 6L6 tubes and to cycle through a number of power tube sets before deciding on JJ EL34 blue glass tubes. Throughout this time the Elekit TU-879S amplifier has been reliable and a good performer sonically so it was disappointing to hear that the popular TU-879S tube amp kit had been discontinued.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/tu-8200-back.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38586 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/tu-8200-back-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"tu-8200-back\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/tu-8200-back-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/tu-8200-back.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, there is good news &#8211; the follow-up tube amplifier kit to the Elekit TU-879S, the Elekit TU-8200 is now available from TubeDepot (USA). The renowned Elekit designer, Mr. Fujita, has gone back to the drawing board to design a superior tube amplifier kit from top to bottom. The Elekit TU-8200 will allow the kit builder to enjoy fine tube audio sound in just a few evenings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/tu-8200-parts.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38587 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/tu-8200-parts-300x203.jpg\" alt=\"tu-8200-parts\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/tu-8200-parts-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/tu-8200-parts.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some of the improvements over the Elekit TU-879S tube amplifier kit include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Three Selectable output modes &#8211; Ultra-linear, Triode, or Pentode by changing a jumper on PCB.<\/li>\n<li>TU-8200 kit ships with a R-core power transformer that supports 100V, 115V, 200V, and 230V mains.<\/li>\n<li>Improvements to the audio and power supply circuitry.<\/li>\n<li>Headphone output.<\/li>\n<li>Optional Elekit PS-3249 DAC to decode audio from computer USB source.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Elekit TU-8200 tube amplifier kit ships with Electro-Harmonix 6L6GC power tubes, but will also accept a wide range of other power tubes such as 6CA7, EL34, KT66, KT77, KT88, 6550 (and more) with no modifications and no need to re-bias.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elekit TU-8200 Main Specifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 X 12AU7, 2 X 6L6GC (can also use 6CA7, EL34, KT66, KT77, KT88, 6550)<\/li>\n<li>Output Modes: Ultra-linear, Pentode or Triode mode<\/li>\n<li>6L6GC (Ultra Linear) 8W + 8W (8 ohms)<\/li>\n<li>6L6GC (Pentode) 8.2W + 8.2W (8 ohms)<\/li>\n<li>6L6GC (Triode) 4W + 4W (8 ohms)<\/li>\n<li>Speaker Impedance: 4-6.3 ohm and 8-16 ohm<\/li>\n<li>Headphone: Standard jack (6.4mm DIA)<\/li>\n<li>Power Consumption: 60W (with 6L6GC)<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 14.55lbs (6.6 kg)<\/li>\n<li>Dimensions: Width 9.92&#8243; (252mm) x Height 6.22&#8243; (158mm) x Depth 11.22&#8243; (285mm)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At $699US (April 2014) the new Elekit TU-8200 tube amplifier kit looks quite tempting. What I like most about the TU-879S tube amplifier was the seemingly endless amount of tube combinations that were possible. With the TU-8200 tube amp kit and the ability to select between Ultra-linear, Pentode or Triode output modes, the number of possible tube combinations are endless.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tubedepot.com\/products\/elekit-tu-8200-stereo-tube-amplifier-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DIY Project : Elekit TU-8200 Tube Amplifier Kit (SE 6L6).
