Hi Richard ,You have a very good Amp with first class components .
According my modest experience of Kit1 , just 3 points :
1) passive line stage preamps are dynamic killers.
Try a good tube pre-amp (Audio-Note ,...)
2) TJ Mesh 300B is one of the best , but :
they are intended to run under lower power (see jacmusic.com)
Jac Van De Walle said that AN Amps were too high powered for mesh.
I recently changed my TJ for basic Valve Art and was surprised to
recover more life and dynamic. My TJ declined slowly after some months of intensive use. Try good non mesh 300B like Valve Art or JJ.
3) Black-Gate are very good caps , but :
Break-in period is awfull long (many weeks).
Even after that I have read that it is better to listen every
day to keep them "full-charge" and so benefit of best performances.
According to my experience I would say that it is true.
For the High-Voltage after choke I use a WKZ 100+100 that fits well
Concerning the foil caps that bypass the HV caps I suggest , if you are BG equiped,
to eliminate them for a better coherence of the sound.
(Peter Qvortrup agrees with that)
and you will avoid some troubles (see on that forum problems
with old model of AN CU-PIO for example)Gilbert
