Help my brain hurts

I assumed(and maybe incorrectly so) that the zen amplifiers were older and the more recent models would be better.

The ZenV9 is quite new, the Zen is pretty old
If you want well documented projects, Hoping to narrow the choices, I suggest that you take a look at the ZenV4 if you need the power, (and maybe implement the Blues buffer) or the ZenV9 if you can do it with 15 Watts. The ZenV4 is 25 watts.
If going the Aleph or Aleph-X road, you have to do a bit more reading.

Just posting in the Pass forum doesn't mean a thing. Folks post about other circuits here all the time.

Good advice.
And Nelson sure has got a few 'simple' amps for DIY.
But this simplicity does NOT mean 'bad'.
He has tried his best to make Simple & Very Good.

===============================================

- take your self some time, some day
- download and have a look at passdiy.com projects

1. older 'legacy' Pass projects: http://www.passdiy.com/legacy.htm
2. newer and latest dito: http://www.passdiy.com/amps.htm

you will find there are good descriptions, both Theoretical & Practical
this is one reason Pass DIY Amplifiers are so very popular
another reason, of course, is that they perform well


Good Luck
