Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...

John,
that is a very good bargain price for that caliber of tube. I got those tubes back in 2009 when they first hit the market and they were 600.00 a pair. They are very good 300b tubes and I used them(happily) for 2 1/2 years before I got the Takatsuki.

Charles,
If you liked them, then I know I will love them.
From a purely aesthetic point of view though, I think the Takatsuki 300b is a thing of beauty.

Well, I spoke with Pete today. The new output transformers have been installed and the amp is working properly and sounds terrific. He's going to let it burn in for a couple of days and will ship it later this week. Pete's just terrific to deal with. I will check in again when I have the amp back in hand.

"and sounds terrific"
Just what I expected, congratulations Rebbi.
Charles,

Rebbi,
Congrats, can't wait to hear your impression.
