Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...

You're welcome, Rebbi. BTW, Signal Cable sometimes sells at Audiogon, as member Frank9740. As of today he has 1,237 positive feedbacks here, with no neutrals and no negatives.

Signal Cable appear to be well thought out products for modest cost. I would consider those as well as Pangea, which I am very happy with so far for my DACs and pre-amp, for my power amps someday.

Re bi,
What interconnects and speaker cables are you using?

Certainly, decent power cords are must-have items in a system of this caliber. However, I would not go crazy with big buck spending on power cords for tube amplification--most tube gear seem to be not as sensitive to power cord changes as are solid state amplifiers/linestages. Where power cords seem to matter most in a tube-based system is with things like digital sources (DAC, music server, etc.).

Mikorob,
For interconnects, kind of a sad mishmash of budget Audioquest and Kimber.

For speaker cable, I use Supra Classic 6.0 I discovered it when I was looking for cabling for my Merlin TSM-mmi's. I was looking for something that conformed to Bobby P.'s parameters but wasn't in the bankruptcy-inducing price range of the Cardas stuff that he prefers. I thought it sounded very good. Bobby got some samples and declared that the Supra cable was (his words) "stupid good" for the price, and he recommends it now to customers (I believe) as his go-to budget speaker cable option.
