**** , should have read the upper link

.............anyway,seems like you will be the first around here to get to listen to it soooo............
I await the results before i build.The Cadbury enclosure is still too coool though.

And I don't know how this **** happened but lately there is not a whole lot of transistor gear in my main rig.Started out with a Dyna PAS , some tube rolling (NOS JAN blackplates in the RIAA , RCA 5751 in the line section , psu update , cap update , etc)
So either my Szekeres is going Hybrid or i need something that glows AND drives Grados.
Seems like I was down this road way back...

The last three models on the prototype page show "sold" so maybe if you act fast you can buy one of the two Cadbury prototypes. Or both.


Does anyone know circuit topologies well enough to go out on a limb and predict how this amp might stack up against a MG Head which sells at roughly the same price point? I'm hoping it really performs so I can solder and roll some more.
