hey, i wanted to build a kgsshv as a fun project but since i am a beginner i figured out i would be better off starting with something more simple. 

so, how do i start? also which tools i need for the measurements and building? 

(sorry if this post is redundent)

This might help.

0. lose your conscience 

1. get an oem to make the thing for you (cheap as possible no need for quality/performance)

2. attach pointless bling to the oem thing (if you are out of ideas for bling try a university art department, get the students to do it as a project for zero cost. Offer the students a 10% discount on the final product as an incentive)

3. get a e commerce web site (students studying computer science should be able to make it for you again offer 10% discount)

4. bribe some reviewers (give them the product so they can give it to their mistresses)

5. get lots of media exposure (talk BS about your innovative product)

6. create a cult following (amongst the rich and famous. limited editions, special one offs etc)

7. sit back and watch the money roll in.... (get a swiss or caiman islands  bank account)

8. get a good accountant and avoid all taxes

9. get your product ridiculed on head-case (who cares your are now a millionaire) 

10. go back to step 1 when sales of your current product start to drop

11. if income still falls make a NFT version

12 if NTF does not make enough money invest in bit coin, lose all you money and go back to step 1

I hope this plan is detailed enough for you....

The IVY output stage will drive headphones directly

Try a dynalo first then graduate to something HV
