Hi,

Newbie here. I bought a pair of Stax SR-404 Signature and want to build an energizer/amp myself. I'm not a big tube fan, although I can see the value in using them. Instead, I'd like to build a fairly compact solid-state version.

Does anyone have any links or references to interesting designs? Thx

D.

Check out Kevin's (Dr. Gilmore) current feedback electrostatic amp if you are looking for a compact and first DIY project.

I suggest it because it's easy to build, low cost with very simplistic power supply requirement and, more importantly, a very nice sounding solid state amp that uses all current production parts.
