Very interested in building this little simple DIY amp. What are your thoughts, the ones that have built this amp? What output caps would you recommend? Will be driving either PXC 350's at 150ohm or HD 650's at 300ohm... Any input or help would be appreciated and of course pics are welcome!

I have been looking at the Aikido LV, so I can not offer any experience, but I don't think that the Aikido LV can deliver enough current to drive headphones OTL, but Broskie is offering a kit, that is using a transistor output buffer http://glass-ware.stores.yahoo.net/24vailiamkit.html
Not many users have tried though, but I guess that it will sound great.
Oh and BTW perhaps a moderator should move this thread to the DIY forum where it belongs.

Yeah I saw the older Aikido kit, but it is also out of stock. Actually not sure if anything is in stock on the site? And sorry I am a noob on this site, did not see the dedicated DIY section.
