Very glad to hear that.

Totally interested Can't wait to see what you come up with. I'm thinking of this for an office rig. I'm wondering how well it would drive O2's.

Looks good looking forward to seeing the final result.

Those builds look great. I love that you have access to metalworking shops. For me it is all sourced or made myself. Fun, but not easy - especially for the finishes.

I'm loving the way that build is turning out Are you still sending the artwork out to have it etched? I'm looking for a DIY way to label my projects and was wondering if you've mastered that.

Great news on both the board and transformer.

Beautiful job. I like that it is a stock chassis. This really reduces build time.

I'd be interested in some of the sk216 and sj79 parts.

Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas

That's awesome. Great find

Nicely done. Thanks for the pics.

Congrats Emooze I really do like listening to this amp. It has made its way to my night table. @Spritzer - That looks so much better than I had imagined. It's like Christmas a bit early

I definitely need to pick up this project as soon as I clear plate. Enjoy the A/B session.

yeah, I saw Tom at the NY meet after this happened. He wasn't happy. Glad you could fix it for him. He's a good guy.

@emooze - Looking good. @spritzer - that looks like a whole mess of fun.

Congrats on a nice build Victor. I thought your impressions were well stated. If you have a chance to invite some friends with Audeze's LCD-3 or the HD800's I'd like to get your feedback with those two as well.

Beautiful builds Ume. Congrats and enjoy

I agree, nice work and love the case. Congrats!

Couldn't agree more

Very nice! I can see this project in my future

Thanks. @Cee Tee - I was always thinking about doing a curved face. I always thought to mill it out, but printing might provide alternate options. I looked at the site and went to the materials section to look up alumide. I'm not clear that this material would be acceptable for a face plate. What were your thoughts?

KGSShv milling is proceeding I had to buy a new controller for the mill. I had one a cheap ebay one from china and it just messed up too often. I ended up with the gecko g540. This is the bottom plate. It is 8.25" W x 14.25" D x 3/16" H. I decided to go a 1/4" wider just incase I want to put a larger transformer in.

As a rule of thumb, anything marked 2SA.... is a PNP and anything market 2SC.... is an NPN.

I didn't use the 3900pF cap in my version. A lower capacitance would certainly work. I didn't do a comparison of the difference under load. Under no load and with either version I was unable to measure the noise level since it is so small. In LTSpice it was slightly lower noise without that cap. Kevin probably had a reason for including it but I'm not clear on it though I'm guess it would be to prohibit oscillation.

Sorry for the delayed response, I'm just seeing this now. This project is still sitting on my bench on breadboard. I never made up any boards, but do want to finish this up after a couple more projects.
