2 class D Orchard Audio StarKrimson Ultra boards.

I will be using these in a stereo setup with a LINEAR power supply, 1000 VA toroidal + 160 amp 0.8 volt forward voltage drop rectifiers + 200,000uF of filter capacitance with XLR inputs.

I should be finished building the whole thing in the next 4-5 weeks (not too much time in my hands).

@cakyol sounds like a nice build, share some pictures when you are done.

Bought a Schitt Freya+. I liked it, but thought it sounded kinda thin when compared to a modified Aragon 24K SP I have (even with NOS tubes). So I picked up a Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 modified with V-Caps and had it further upgraded by Parts Connexion.

SFL-2 will pair with the SFT-1 and SFD 2 Mkii I inherited from my dad. Going in a system with a pair of Magnepan .7's powered by a set of Aragon Palladium 2 monoblocks.

Looking forward to getting the system set up in a dedicated room. Even though I have some newer stuff, I think I'm a big fan of modified/upgraded 90's gear LOL

2 weeks ago, a Lumin T-2. Amazing piece, completely changed my listening experience.
