In Reply to: Isn't this a TUBE forum? posted by RPMac on April 3, 2012 at 05:30:16:
Personally, I would gladly trade most of the quasi-religious yammering on this forum for a lot more photo examples of successful DIY audio projects, regardless of the technology.
Notice I'm not passing judgment on anyone else's work.
I'm listening to this amplifier now and it is INSANELY good. Honestly, it might be that swapping in a particular tube amplifier might make it even "better" (or just different?), but, cripes! Who cares?
I suggest you try building one of these for yourself. It'll only set you back about $300 in parts if you don't get ambitious with the casework. Apex Jr. has a nice 600VA power transformer for $50, shipped, and HeatSinkUSA will sell you aluminum extrusions, cut to size, for surprisingly cheap.
