Part 2 describes the planning of the build on paper and with reference to the partially assembled amplifier. The DG-SE1 was designed by Dave Gillespie and shared on Audiokarma.org. The starting point for the design was the Magnavox 8600-series console amplifier. I've built three DG-SE1's, two on the 8600-series chassis (with a third underway) and one on the AMP 196-00 chassis. This video series focuses on the AMP 196-00 build, which I completed for a friend in July and August 2022, but includes footage from other builds as well.
Part 1 described the DG-SE1 circuit and modifications for the AMP 196-00. Part 3 will describe the modifications to the chassis and the installation of the major hardware components. Part 4 will describe the wiring of the amplifier, and Part 5 will describe the bench and listening tests.
