You guys are in for a treat. I hope you have a standard F5 to compare to
I hope you share your impressions and the comparison!
I envy those of you that have built other amp projects and have some frame of reference. This is a whole new level for me. Comparison will be to my current (old) Yamaha power amps. This will be the first thing I have built since my haflers in the 80s. By comparison, those were super simple. ...and it probably wouldn't happen now if it weren't for this type of help. Thanks!
Folks:
Buzzforb's large and weighty box arrived at my home a couple of days ago and I'd just like to publicly applaud him for all of the hard work and terrific parts choices. Group buys are usually a great opportunity, but Buzzforb made available to the group parts that would have, under any other circumstance, been way out of my price range. It is also worth mentioning that the parts were very nicely packaged with enough bubblewrap to keep a room full of small kids entertained for an hour (okay, maybe 20 minutes, but still a long time).
My F5T build efforts will, by intention, lag behind the efforts of the more intelligent and inventive amongst you, since I have no idea what I'm doing and really need (and depend on) all the guidance I can get. But please don't delay too long -- that box sings its siren song to me every time I walk past it.
Kudos and many, many thanks to Justin!
Regards,
Scott

Over the years I have owned quite a few amps, from Audio Research to a Krell class A monster. The diy F5 that I finished this year, is the finest, at least to my ears. I anticipate that the F5T will improve upon the already impressive F5 performance. HTH!
I am resolving all kits form first GB. THe new sign up sheet will go up this weekend with new pricing. The major decsision on the new GB is PSU components. I will have to gauge nterest to determine whether or not to include this. It was the major souce of delay and cost in the first GB.
