Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...

I know...it's so amazing. I sit there listening, and wonder what Tataksuki or Elrog 300b tubes would add to this, but honestly, I am really lucky to be able to have this level of performance with my modest means.
I have spent soooo much more in the past, and gained so much less. The Kit One is really a great platform to build on.
I just knew you would be amazed, and I'm really happy for you. It's not about looks ,or brute power, or any of that for me anymore. It's really about musical insight, and hearing beauty when it's there to hear. I have to add that recordings that are crappy sound crappier than I thought they were, and now, the reasons why are clearly revealed. Good to great recordings sound magnificent.

Roxy54 and Rebbi,
It is so pleasing to read how much joy you guys are getting from your 300b SETs. Pure natural musical delight!
Very simple circuit,fewer parts and good implementation= superb sound. I glad you all decided to venture down this path. Your respective amplifiers will keep you very happy for a long time, I'm speaking strictly from experience. Your appreciation for what you have will grow.
Charles,

Hello Rebbi,

I'm enjoying reading this thread, but I've lost the link to your blog. Do you think you can post it again?

Congratulations, and regards,
Dan

Sure, Dan:

Enjoy!

Charles,
It was you who pushed me over the edge, and I thank you for helping me take that leap. I had just bought a Mac 402 for my efficient speakers, and was expecting to be in paradise. That didn't happen, and I finally understood what some say about *the fist watt".
I had certainly read some negative things about SET amps over the years as well, but I still felt that they might be the thing for me, and your posts and system were the deciding factor.
There are still many virtues to good SS amps, but I have no regrets, and a lot of gratitude for having been connected to this experience.
Thanks, John
