I built one a little after the PCBs were released. Excellent little amp and it does well with the K-501. I have not heard the Cantate, so I can't compare.
I can say that the parts for the CK2III are a bit cheaper, though.
However, I still the K-501 is at its best when driven by tubes. For $500, you could probably find a used Singlepower PPX3, which is terrific with the K-501. Check the For Sale Forum and look at the others, as well. |
The Green Solo, the Musical Fidelity X-Can V2, or the O2 Headphone/DAC all do well. The last two are much cheaper ($175 or $250 respectively).
