Wow, a lot of good looking kits. Can't wait for more details on the power supply modules.

Forgive me if this is stated elsewhere, but will the push-pull driver have a differential topology similar to your ST-70 driver?

Also (and this is wading into murky waters), would you care to qualify any of the differences between a inductively-coupled, choke-loaded driver vs a capacitively-coupled, ccs-loaded iteration? I have been impressed by the performance of the SST-70 so am leaning towards the latter but am always open to alternatives.

The capacitively coupled input stage is not, strictly speaking, a differential stage without adding a small negative supply, but I will provide instructions for doing that with the kit. It's easy, but I wanted something as simple as could be made that had phase-splitting capability and lacked the soul-stealing plate resistors. :+)) As it is it's what used to be called a "short-tailed PP pair" input stage.

In this particular case, I've not yet played "scientist" and listened to both without changing other parts of the amplifier circuit, so I can't properly answer your question second question. I hope to get to that with "plywood base" monoblock amplifiers sometime on the next few months.
