RE: A few quick(ie) questions.....

a) Can the acrylic base be painted as-is

Sand it and you should be fine. Don't trust the Krylon paint that is made for plastics, it sucks.

b) Does one need to use a coupling cap to keep DC off the transformers if using the same Specos from the SEX amp?

Yes, we use the stock coupling caps and wire the Speco as an autoformer.

c) I would want to go from 8kohms to 250 ohms to power my Beyerdynamic DT880's.

No prob, go 8K:500, the reflected load will work out. Do wire the secondary in series with the primary to use the entire winding.

d) Would series resistors have to be used on the headphone jack if the output impedance ended up being lower than 250ohms?

Try it and see, but I would say no. Low impedance/high sensitivity cans seem to work OK, but that is somewhat subjective.

e) any ideas on what size Hammond box would cover the entire battery arrangement?

Why? It would make them pretty tough to get to and change. If you bought a Seduction base, you could build the kit with the batteries on the bottom...
