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!

Tubegroover,
As I said, my greatest worry was that Brian and Pete wouldn’t be able to reproduce the problem - like those times I've brought my car in to the shop with a funny noise and the mechanic couldn't reproduce it. As soon as they confirmed that there was a real issue, I was relieved because I knew they'd take care of it. Brian said, "I'll make sure you're happy."

Almarg: such an interesting article, thanks.

Seikosha and Mikirob: Thanks for the good wishes. And Rob, really sorry my Stereophile sub lapsed. I'd like to read that Tekton Enzo review and may have to pick up a news stand copy.
Rebbi,
I have been waiting for your news, and I am really happy to hear that the problem is solved. I am really anxious to see you loving yours as I do mine.

Rebbi,
By-the-way, the Enzo Reviewer (Reichert) favorably compared the Enzo to the DeVore Orangutang O/96. As I've previously mentioned on this thread I am currently comparing my brother's DeCapo Ref 3A against the M-Lore using the Coincident Dynamo 34SE 8 watt amp in my room and set-up. I will make one comment at this juncture. The bass on the M-Lore is much, much better in quantity and quality. YMMV. Best.
Good news, Reb. Can't wait to "hear" your impressions of the amp w the new trannies in place. FWIW, I used a Wavac 300b with some much older "Ref 3a" monitors several years ago and never ran into clipping, although I don't usually listen to full range orchestral music and volume is typically quite moderate. I put Ref 3a in quotes because they are labeled Innovac; a predecessor company to Ref 3a. Built in Switzerland, same designer/owner (before Tash took it over), same basic technology w/o the BE tweeter. I'll have to drag them up from the basement and see how they sound w the Lady Day+ 300bs monos I am now running.
