Phil Wait
Forty years ago, while staff engineer at Electronics Today International magazine (ETI), Phil developed and described many do-it-yourself electronic projects for home constructors, including a 140 Watt amplifier for guitarists that used four EL34 output tubes with 750 volts on the plates! Those were the days!
So, rather than retirement after a long career manufacturing medical alarms and providing medical alarm monitoring services, DIY projects seemed like an obvious thing to do. So, why not another valve amplifier?
Shortly after the Red Roo Kits SE5 tube amplifier was born and released as a full kit of parts, or as a solderless kitset to make it as easy as possible for DIY constructors. The PR5 vinyl phono preamplifier was added in 2022 and later the 'Rockstar' guitar amplifier was added.
The SE5 tube stereo amp and the PR5 tube phono preamp have proven extremely successful and super reliable, with many great-sounding amps built in just a few hours by people with wide ranging experience.
Phil likes listening to his collection of tube amps, owns several vintage motorbikes (Honda-4 and Ducati SD900), and yacht races regularly on Sydney Harbour.
