First you have made no mention of speakers or what wattage you require. But for now lets assume a 6v6 or el84 push pull amp will suffice. You have two basic options for DIYing. You can either buy parts or buy something already built and rebuild it. A Dynaco ST35 could be turned into something nice with very litte work but they are not cheap. However a Magnavox is dirt cheap (well under a $100) and has a nice power transformer, often with a choke. The output transformers could be upgraded with Hammonds or better later on. The chassis is large enough to do what you want. I have gotten a lot of mileage out of my magnavox and recently rebuilt it using Joel T's schematic with Hammond 10K output transformers (which Poinz kindly dontated). All it took was a few resistor changes, some new coupling caps, and a couple of hours of work. It is a cheap and easy way to get started. The magnavox I used started off with a 5u4, two 12ax7's, and four 6v6's. I think its model# was 175DD.
