4 x GU-50 output, 2x100W RMS, anti-clipping optical compressor, transformer balanced inputs, 4,8,16 Ohm outputs. Very clean and transparent sound, 3-D sound stage. I like it!
:)

It is a prototype. Amps can be ordered soon. Available in SF Bay Area to try. Especially with Magnepans that want power.

about amplifiers

Looks good Dmitr, but can you explain what's what? Looks like a few power supplies with different amps, but what goes with what? What tubes are you using? Etc.

the tantalic amplifier costs from above on other amplifier as on a support :)
at the tantalic amplifier the power unit on lamps 6d22. entrance lamps of ef-14.
tension on the anode 3c24 1400 of volts.
output power in a class A 6 of watts.

the second amplifier on a lamp gk-71. on an entrance there are lamps 6ж4 in the triode mode.
gk-71 works in the pentode mode in a class A with tension on the anode of 900 volts.
output power is 20 watts.

@Dmitr
Is that a transformer coupled volume control in the background? I've built 2 that I like very much. Regards, HeyBill

In this dac there is no regulator. I did different dac options where regulators on cores of nano crystal iron and I put them between cs4397 and an output lamp.

It is better to put the regulator in front of the amplifier. I like my of nano crystal iron or I buy from Stevens and Billington.
