I built a few of these amps and offering them here at basically cost.
Not looking to profit off of these, purpose of building these was to experiment with different power supply and transformer configurations.
They are all the same circuit (RH84, which is fairly known as sounding great) and have similar performance.
I designed the PCB for this with consultation from an industry expert.
All of the power supplies are over-built and the amps are extremely quiet.
Frequency response and THD was measured for all amps.

If you were planning on buying a Pendant or other similar amp, this would probably be a much better value.

Prices do not include tubes or shipping (I expect around $20-$30). I have alot of EL84 and 12AT7 (Telefunken, Mullard) tubes that I can offer at a modest cost.

From left to right (in the picture where all 3 are visible)

100+ Head-Fier
The Overkill amp is currently in my possession. Y'all will have to fight pretty hard to get it loose from my hands. This is the best investment I've made in head-fi to date. Bar none. And it plays nearfield speakers without flinching a bit.
