Pass / Korg B1

i see a few here have built a B1. Anyone do the Korg ? I need a winter build / listening project was thinking B1, Korg, Lightspeed, Music Reference Pot in Box / Pot in Box active. Thoughts ? I know audiogon is not the center of the DIY universe, looking for listener experience more than bill of marerial advice…

Might build three, listen….and measure…kinda like Nelson and a few others…

certainly a fair question…because as i said there are some B1 owners here and people i know w good ears. For example above, Tony who worked w Roger Modjeski ( pot in a box, active ), George from lightspeed, etc…

cast a wide net, i am looking at five or six online DIY community relatives to this project

fun

Microphonics a problem only if you tap it.

Enjoy mine quite a bit. 2nd harmonic distortion.

Easy to build like Amp Camp. Not $

As for the Korg B1 I got tube microphonics from just turning the volume control and this was the tube that came with the kit. The other two I bought from Pete Millet and they were much better but still not up to my standards.
