Who knows what the super Bijou will be.

And since I am buried in the CTH and Stat amps right now (with another project in the background), if you want to hear a Bijou it might be good to build the current one. A super Bijou might be a ways off.

Check out tubelab.com and the instructions for the Simple SE. It's all written for the beginner and is very well done. All of the concepts may be applied to the Bijou.
Thanks for that whitelabrat. Excellent site and just what I needed to get started.

The balanced Bijou is quite nice... not sure what beyond the Regal mods would be a whole lot better.

Oh I see. I have thought that the next evolution of the Bijou should be OCL as well as OTL. But, as you saw in the earilier conversations, that's not easy in terms of protecting the headphones. Most of the work there is not figuring out the OCL output stage, but figuring out the protection circuitry. That's what will take some time.

You know, I would have a hard time with this. The liquid beauty of the Bijou is very real, but the SOHA II has some really nice qualities and I like it alot with the right tubes (right tubes for my ears). The first time my wife heard the SOHA II playing Alison Krause she started to tear up at the quality of the sound without any prompting from me.

Once again, I don't know . . .

we shall see. I am really looking forward to it!.

The beauty of the sohaII + bijou is that i can use the same tubes for the front end, ok they are implemented very differently but the variables are slightly limited.
