Ya I can't wait for mine to be done. My uncle has decided all the parts and has begun, so very excited! Hopefully near my birthday Ill have it. Now I wonder if the y1 Gamma is good enough or a buffalo is going to be noticably different.

Maybe someday when all the other project get done, and nothing else pops up in the mean time.

If I decide on getting another ss amp I will be building one of these, or wussing out and paying someone else to do it for me. I've heard too many good things to NOT go with a beta22 if I stray from the tubes.

For the sake of the thread, I'm planning on building a b22, after I get a y1. Seeing this thread bumped every day makes my wallet quiver in terror. I need a new multimeter, hopefully my 2 olds ones will get sold in this garage sale i'm about to have to pay for a new Fluke 179 to replace my 77 and 12b.

It has been said many times before but...
I have spent the same amount on caseing as almost all the components plus tooling combined~

Looking back on it I should have just put it in a cookie tin hehe

I'm planning on building one, but it seems my laundry list of wanted features will have to be pruned down a bit for practicality's sake. On a more positive note, I think I've figured out how to mount the six beta22 boards I have planned in a nice and efficient manner with bigger heatsinks
HERE, SIR.

sorry for my noobness, but is it possible to build a beta22 into a hybrid amp with balanced and unbalanced input/outputs?

There's a huge range. A basic two channel with minimal case work can be built for about $400. Then there's the other extreme of 4 or even 6 channels with fancy wiring/casework/etc. which can easily eclipse $2500.
