Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...

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.
John

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.

Rebbi, I've been checking this space every day since this situation started, and was disappointed at the lack of good news.

I'm glad they got to the bottom of this, I know you'l be enjoying great sound, fashioned by your own hand, very soon.

Congratualtions, regards,
Dan
