Just found Kypo Electronics via Ebay:

kypo electronic - tube, valve amplifiers / Röhren-Verstärker

They have some nice cheap buffer kits and other things that could be fun to play with.

Needless to say I have no association with the company. I searched diyaudio for references to Kypo and found none, so thought I'd flag it up in case anyone os interested.

I bought one µTB-201 buffer board for a bit of fun. Just finished putting it in a box this evening and now it's plugged into my kitchen system playing digital radio.

I bought a pile of dented Ampohm PIO caps recently so replaced the onboard output coupling caps with a pair of 10uF PIO and also added a pair of 2.2uF on the input.

It definitely works! No hum or tube noise heard from where I'm sitting, but my kitchen speakers are not very sensitive.
