F5 / Mezmerize Integrated

[McQuaide]

Happy 1st birthday to the Pass DIY integrated. One year of flawless performance and it's only getting better.

Thanks again Nelson and Salas for a year of enjoyment!

Nice.

And a thumbs up to 6L6 of course, for talking me through the build.

I appreciate the recognition, but all I did was point you in the general direction a time or two ...it's your build through a through. And a heck of a nice one at that!

Congratulations!

How time flies...just passed the 3rd year of steady use of the F5 and she's solid as a rock. I re-biased it not too long ago, although it probably didn't need it. The Mezmerize was sold a while back as I'm using an O2 headphone amp as a preamp now.

I would surely like to see the photos of the integrated amp if it’s at all possible ��

Here you go.

Wow, I love it!
After all these years you still like it & no problems?
Have reset the bias again n since your 2016 follow-up?
It’s nice that you post occasional

At some point since 2016 one of the boards went poof, so I built a new set using V3 and it's been going for several years now. I also built a BA-3 linestage which provides enough gain to drive the F5. Yes I still love it.
