As its a DIY amp, the only ways to get it are: i) build it, ii) get a person from DIY community to build you one, or iii) see if anyone has one available for sell or post a WTB ad. Currently I don't think anyone has a kit for it. Its not a beginner amp to build anyhow. However, if you do...

Get a DIY Millett Hyrbid. Your ears will thank you

My nearly finished Dynahi. Still need to build and stain wood side panels and create a top vent. Maybe even get a bigger knob, but otherwise its finished

I second the Dynahi suggestion. It might hurt your wallet, but your ears will thank you for it

Just wanted to add. If you can spare a few extra bucks for the connectors, I recommend the locking din's from CUI. Digikey part #'s receptacle CP-1233-ND connector CP-1033-ND I've used them on several builds mainly for aesthetics and some security.

I've also had a similar problem. However, slight bending of the case will help the STEP ease into its new home. By doing so, it also helps the top cover slide in easily as well!

As a headfi community, I think we all forget the ever so important functionality of a sound card, a mic input You will be living without one on the Alien DAC. However, the M-audio transit has one, so if you feel the need to use a mic, I suggest you purchase that instead of using an Alien...

Yeah, that sounds about right for millett, possibly even a bit higher current depending on load. If you didn't have heatsink on, you might wanna put it on.

If your temperature is about 100 degrees Fahrenheit, then that sounds just about right based on the transformer specs and output voltage. Maybe it should turn out a bit higher depending on your heatsinking option.

Hey guys, anyone know if stores in NYC sell HD600 cables for pickup?

Ditto with the grado recommendation. If you can part with the extra dough, go with the SR325's or MS2's. You won't regret it.
