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!

Just got an email from Brian with a tracking number. He is sending the technician replacement tubes for everything but the 300 B's. He's also sending along a couple of 300 B bypass capacitors in case those are bad, along with, I think, a replacement power supply PCB just in case. He's also got detailed instructions for the technician about step-by-step testing instructions to take. I'm very impressed by Brian's email. He not only sells these kits, but he clearly has a deep understanding of how they work.

Anyway, I should have some more news tomorrow and I will update all of you.

Yes, lots of drama, huh? I'm going to try to sell the rights to Netflix For a miniseries, as long as they get someone much better looking to play the part of me. ;-)
The name for the mini series should be "Rebbi's Audiophile Adventures." Hehehe

I love this hobby!

We're all rooting for you Rebbi!
Roxy54,
You're right, the EML 300b tubes aren't cheap. I find them to be an absolute value given their superb sound. If you ever come across a used pair I would strongly urge you to buy them. I believe you'd love the EML XLS in your fine amplifier.
Charles,

You certainly have a thing for extended length threads !
Is Audiogon paying you by the contribution ? ;-)
LOL , keep it up and good luck !
