On the same topic of sales I should be posting my Lambda Nova Classic and SR-3 amp soon. I have just posted my Koss 950 which also has a Stax adapter thrown in.

The T2 is built like a tank? Well, congrats spritzer - you finally landed on the much sought after. A couple of question, this thing has a variable bias control? Is this an SET DC coupled?

Sorry, pls delete double posts. My computer is really problematic. When I click post it stalls and when I click again, I get a double posts. Sorry MOD.

It's been a Head-fi problem

Very nice score Birgir! Do you know of any other headfi'ers who have owned the T2 in the past or currently?

The build quality is one of the major issues with the T2 since it will fail or to be more precise, one of the transformers will fail.

If I can get a custom unit made to those exact dimensions then I'll just swap it out now. They are also very sensitive to dust (bad PCB layout perhaps) so that's a concern.

The headphone bias is locked at 580v but the output stage bias should be adjustable. You can't have a SET electrostatic amp without splitting the phase with a transformer later on or running 4 SET's (one for each phase) which has a host of issues to say the least. The T2 is a normal dual-differential amp from input to output and while it is mostly DC-coupled, it does have input caps.

Darth Nut had one (well two since his first one was destroyed) and somebody in the Uk bought one recently. I can't remember who though...

Btw. this is what I was up to yesterday, testing some Blue Hawaii boards...

If I may ask... what exactly were you testing?

 

[spritzer]

Whether they worked or had any issues before starting the chassis work.

Woah! That's fantastic!
Didn't see one come up on any of the usual auctions. Where did you get it from?

 

[spritzer]

One of the European distributors had one sitting in the back almost unused.

Are you building it with one power supply per channel?

 

[spritzer]

No, just testing the boards one at a time.

Sweet!

One of the rarer amplifiers around here, which quite a lot of us have been curious about for years..

I won't hear it for some time since it is going to the US first.
