Default A tribute to the Pimeta!

Wow, lots of completely beautiful stuff lately!

I've recently had a chance to build an over-the-top transportable Pimeta with all the little additions I wanted.

This Pimeta runs off OPA637/OPA627 opamps with Millet Hybrid Discrete Diamond Buffers on Left/Right and a Sijosae Class-A Diamond Buffer on Ground.

There is a trickle charger for the 11x 650mAh AAA battery pack I soldered together. With the diamond buffers set fairly high (25mA each) battery life is about 10 hours. Of course, this could be lowered without much sound quality degradation.

This thing sounds fantastic and gives some chase to the PPA I'm using, but just can't catch up. I'll be finally having a chance to compare it to the PPAS, although I'm pretty sure which will win.
