Thanks for all of the input. In the process of seeing what was out there in terms of SET amps, I ran into a discontinued project that was too good to pass up. This should be a fun and educational experience for me, building an amp from scratch. I was trained as an EE back in the day of the discrete transistor, and also have adequate skills in soldering and routing. As I slowly plod through putting the amp together, I can work on each aspect of the amp and learn about it. Really looking forward to it. Beyond that, I can eventually (hopefully) get to listen to a SET amp driving my system.
I will no doubt have lots of questions once I get started, so I'll probably be here a lot.....

Roger,
I'll just chime in here to say that I recently made the move from a PP to DHT SET amp and couldn't be happier! I went from a pair for Manley Mahi mono-blocks with a Manley Shrimp preamp to an Audio Note Kits "Kit 1" 300 B SET amp (integrated). In my rig, driving the Reference 3A De Capo monitors, I am thrilled. As trite as this, I feel that this change has shifted my experience from listening to hi-fi gear to something much closer to appreciating musical performances in my home.
I had a ball building the Audio Note Kit 1 and have provided the link to my blog below. There are also lots of listening impressions there. I also started a thread over on Audiogon called "What's The Greatest Bargain In SET These Days?" that has a lot of good info in it.
Have fun exploring! :-D
Thanks for the link to your blog - interesting step by step descriptions of what I will be doing. My project has no directions and will require point to point wiring - just working off the circuit diagram. Should be great fun.
Glad to hear that you are enjoying your SET - I look forward to hearing mine someday!!
Regards -- Roger
