Which pre pcb build will suit me? - Page 2

I had a similar experience with one F amp in particular, not my cup of tea at all. The Alephs are single ended and quite liquid.

It's good to hear some other opinions of the PA150..

Where did you order the Aikido from? I'm stuck between the Aikido and the Aleph P1.7, might order the Aleph P1.7 boards anyway since there avaliable atm from a groupbuy quite cheap, before I decide.

I bought Aikido from glass-ware.com. Emailed John Broskie and he recommanded the Octal All In One board with 6SN7 tubes.

I built the A30 and was very happy with the sound. But too bad mine blew up..

I'm thinking I may build the BPA300 monoblocks as my first amp project, since I have already ordered the boards and alot of people seem quite happy with them aswell. Depending how that goes I might challenge the build of the Aleph-x amps.

For the pre-amp I am going to build the Aleph p1.7 and add what I need to it..

Good luck with everything.... I am extremely happy with the bass of the PA150. Can't imagine what 300watts can sound like.
