I decided to start my TU-8100 tonight... And finished it!

Thanks, MHouston!

Sodacose: How do you like the Transcendar OPTs?

I don't have a true point of comparison for the RH84 with other OPTs, but the amount of bass this little amp kicks out is really very impressive. Detail, midrange, and treble are all excellent. I don't know how much is due to the OPTs and how much to the design, but I'm very happy with the Transcendars. Very good build quality and quick delivery.

I actually saved all the lead cut-offs and reused wherever possible because they appeared to be much higher quality than the rest of the hook-up wire I had on hand. If the copper in the transformer is as good as the stuff on the outside, I'd call these a deal.
