After a very long timne of waiting for my Jeff Rossel kit, finally I made it. My CK²III is completed.
And I must say, the sound is wonderfull! I will give him some hours of burning in and then I will try to decide which amp I love more - the CK²III or my Millett Max. I am not sure untill now.

ok, i'm a little shy to post my build, but here it goes anyway:
it's a meta42/pimeta based headamp, and it has a buffered ground.
buf634 for ground buffer. a pair of el2001 for the left and right channel buffer. opamp is opa2227. everything fitted inside an altoids tin, as you can see.
at first i wanted to build a mint or a pint, but some of the required parts were discontinued, so i decided to build this inspired by sijosae's work!
thought of making it work in class-a, so i soldered the required wires, but because it runs off 9v batteries, i gave up this this idea. anyway, if i change my mind, the connectors are there ready to be used.
thanks sijosae for the inspiration!!!

Nicely done! Cramming that much stuff in on protoboard, AND fitting 2 batteries into a mint tin isn't easy.

thanks pars!
it's not a piece of art like some amps posted here, but i am very satisfied with the results achieved with this amp, specially considering its size!

Really nice looking! Might I ask what kind of run time you get with the rechargable 9 volts?

Does Jeff's CKIII kit include the chassis, jacks, and everything required to make and case the amplifier?

I thought GJA didn't do the CKIII kits anymore.

sorry, but i still don't know how long it runs with a pair of 9v rechargeables, because i started listening to it recently and i am looking for a good charger and good batteries (the ones i got are pretty low quality).
i'm having problems with my internet connection right now (it took ages for me to post this message!), but i'll find the el2001cn, opa2227 and buf634 spreadsheets and calculate approximately how long it would run off 9v batteries and write the results here!

Here's my as yet uncased Millet MAX along with a iMod LOD --> RCA IC.
The Max is HOT.

his main website isnt quite updated, and only includes some of his offerings. what isnt there, is covered here, although there is some overlap. I believe the pricing on his "main" site is his current pricing, if there are any discrepancies.

oh ya, and @ ombuttsman: No reason to be shy man! Thats a fantastic build there, especially if its one of your first! Work quality looks stellar, and as was mentioned above, good job on fitting it all in there - I definitely had NO hopes of getting 9V#2 in there when I built my first cmoy (although god knows I tried in vain!)!

Yes, the chassis and everething else is included - execpting the volume knob, the wires and the screws.
I also added a small selfe-etched PCB for mounting the Alps-pot. I don_t know, if you can see it in my pictures...

If you are asking Jeff allmost everything is possible. He is a very kind man.
