That's what I found with my KSA50 clone.  It has a firm control over the LF drivers.

Same here also.

+1 How many times have I walked into the local shop and can't find anything worth buying.  And when I ask at the counter I get attitude.

Great job John. Will follow this one closely.  I am thinking of doing of my own design late next year using KT120s on the power section, 6h30n on the drivers and then maybe either EF86 pentode or 6922 dual triode for the splitter.  But that is still a long way off. Might even sneak this kit...

Yes, coming back on topic.  :sh1tstirrer: I believe I can build an F4, F5 and Aleph J for about half of what it would cost me to buy the real one.  So it is not always as expensive.  Speakers are another ball game altogether though, mostly compared to second hand good speakers. I believe...

Jozua Have you ever heard an ARC Reference 150 amp with 2 pairs of KT120s per channel? While I agree that most valve amps do not have the bass slam that a good solid state has got, there are other parameters where the valve amp is better.  For example I have always felt that valve amps provide...

I had Linn speakers.  Linn Helix to be precise.  It was the worst set of speakers I have ever owned.  Overpriced, overhyped.  But don't let the Linn Flat-earthers know that. That are many better options.

Dammit, wish I had an RCM. :vsad:

Ooooh!  :facepalm:  Get a Malware remover.  All those porn sites... :baseball: :comfort:

Check the KSA50 thread out on DIY Audio [caution - will take weeks to read].  No specific build thread.  Sounds good.

You need to close a tag when you open it i.e.:

I used some of his ideas in my KSA50 build.

You have no closing tags.

Yes, have seen his site before.  Was linked from DIY Audio.  So I assume you have read the Aleph X Build thread? His site's links were in there.  He used air cored inductors in his PSU.  They are under the big PSU caps. Those Germans are meticulous, as well as some of those other Eastern...

Definitely not amplifiers or other audio devices with a linear PSU.  It will create a lot of extra harmonics in the PSU.

Pray do tell.  Spill the beans.

Headphones usually require a circuit that is able to drive low a impedance, while most line drivers are designed to drive a high impedance.  My suggestion is that you could either add a separate valve section to drive your headphones, or put a specific headphone amp in a separate box with its...

My advice: beg Rudi (GECO) to put together a Dulcet kit for you.  Or else there are other options.  I ordered myself one off John Broskie's kits, the Tetra Phono, but you will need to do some thinking yourself as he usually provides for multitudes of options on his kits.

Cookies and Chocolates.  I try to stay away from that.  Most because of the sugar, or white poison as it is called in some circles.  Read this: http://drhyman.com/blog/2011/05/13/5-reasons-high-fructose-corn-syrup-will-kill-you/#openModal

Don't worry, talking of unwanted creatures.  One night whilst sleeping I feel something crawling over my face.  Knowing we have Rain spider about I go on and flick it off my face.  Light was on in an instant.  Turns out it was one whopper of a cockroach.  We get some monsters of those in Strand.
