Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...


Hi, Folks,
If anyone's interested, I've started a blog with lots of photos, documenting my ongoing build of the Audio Note Kit 1 300B SET amp. If you've ever thought of building any kit before and want to get a feel for what it's like, you're welcome to have a look!

Rebbi has commented on other threads that the amp clips and does not have enough power on certain kinds of music. Thus my comments.

Charles, understand and thanks for the comments.

My experience confirms that different tube circuits can indeed deliver that SET sound in the context of a total system.
Always avoid clipping even if subtle.

How hard it will be to find new speakers and how much will largely depend on how much bass extension is needed. If not full range it won't be hard or expensive.
Rebbi- if you think that your amp clips "a little" you might want to consider a sub or pair of subs with its own amplification. I know the ref 3s roll off but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know whether that affects the amp trying to amplify those low frequencies which really gobble up the power.
