Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...

Jwm,
That is certainly what I am expecting/hoping!

Erndog, Agree! It is almost to the point of fine literature, at this point. Still not sure if it is a tragedy or a comedy (in the classical sense.) As for me, I'm sensing some unexpected turns leading to a happy ending.

I keep returning to this thread to see how it ends. Fun thread.

As the drama builds seriously consider an upgrade to the Psvane Black Treasure 300b tube. Now only about $284.00 a pair. But first, listen to what you have, enjoy. Can't wait.

Mikirob,
I am really enjoying my Kit 1 10th Anniversary, but I often wonder what a different set of 300b tubes would do to the sound. I really can't afford the Emmission Labs, or some of the other recommended candidates at the present time, but like any audio type guy, I wonder. It still sounds wonderful as-is.
Rebbi, I hope this is all resolved for you very soon, and I hope that it makes the amp a good match for the De Capos.
