My god. This DIY is becoming dangerous ! Tinkerer, be careful, I wish you fast success.

Looks like tip soldering to me. But beautiful job for sure !

Beautiful piece of engineering !

Paid aswell !

I do too

LEDs

WOW !

Any progress on this powerplant ?

Another professional-looking-premium build. State of the art !

Just eat it. But not too soon, unless it'll taste oxygen free copper and teflon.

You boys are a wild overtalented bunch. This one looks sweet and tiny !

I have installed a quad of Philips Herleen ECC88. Definitely sweet with xf2 EL34.

I haven't realized how simple the circuit is. This is a briliant move guys !

Anybody tried PCC88 / 7DJ8 tubes with the beast ? Any reason not to ?

But not cheaper than EL34 !

This is pretty scary !

A detail that could help other builders : I had to deal with a hard to adjust channel. It crackled sometimes, with blinking LEDs. I was quite desperate, and started to read the batteries adjustment techniques again. First method was Inu's, 10k at the middle and 2k full to R32 side, not good. Then, I tried to adjust without using 2k, no crackling noise, but some random "whistles". KG's silkscreen patern, all trimpots centered, not good either. Finally Kerry's way cured the thing : 6.55V at 22k resistor using 10k pots while keeping 2k centered, then fine tune with 2k. So keep in mind that each build and each channel is unique. Be creative, walk sideways. Now the sound is scandalous, like I said... PS : 95 % Takman even in the batteries, not even raised above the PCB 750 Ohm at k216 gates 2*5pF compensation caps Matched 3675 at parallel spots Balanced and noiseless Sylvania "Green Hornets" 6922

It is scandalous how good this amp sounds. An everyday amazement, thank you all once again for making it buildable.

Okay, a small saving then !

Any reason not to build a balanced version of this ?

Anybody with a working build ?

Thank you Inu, your advices, comments and photos were so useful !

Thank you gents. A very bold attention to K. Gilmore, Birgir, "from overseas" George, Kubo and all the ones behind the project. Kerry, your iteration is nothing short of sexy. Almost to the point of building one !

Gentlemen, it's christmas obviously. Today my T2 is making its first playback. I have just received a Birgir modified 007A. Yes, I haven't owned anything from Stax since today. It sounds so effortless and so wonderful... and weired noise free even with my 95 % Takman build (no Xicons, Inu's style). After 10 months of careful building, it's alive. Maybe the first KGT2 in France ? If there is a Xmas magic, I must have tasted it today.

s_r, any news on your noise problem ?
