What got my attention is Nelson obtaining Tokin SIT's and designing an amplifier around them for Firstwatt.com.
well, we know that he left few for Greedy Boyz 🙂
What?? Greedy Boys? Do you mean us DIYers?
Possible Tokin SITs/kits for us regular deadly class A loving DIY- dudes to buy i the DIY store???🙂
You can still get 2sk182es and thf51s on ebay. Tomoaki Watanabe in Japan is known reliable seller.
Price has gone up with time, but it's still a good deal - you can make a fairly powerful channel with just one.
And I have a couple of diy designs for them, not to mention whatever ZM cooks up...

So if one already had 2 pairs of THF51s from Watanabe but was starting to give in to that inner Greedy Boyz voice to buy one more pair if there any reason to get a pair of the 2SK182ES vs another pair of THF51s?
just snatch them, any you can
when you get them , use sharpie and A4 , write in big letters, tape it on box: THIS IS PAIR OF 300B PLUS OPTs, ZIPPED

Hey, i just impulse bought a "PRECISELY Matched Pair (2PCS) of 2SK182ES (with curve DATA)TOKIN SIT V-FET NOS" from "watanabetomoaki". US $248.00.
Did i just do something n00b stupid? 🙄🤔🙂

Well, in that perspective it does not seem all that unreasonable 🙂 If! they send them to me🙄it'll last longer than pair of 300B
go figure

Im thinking SE amp, one 2SK182ES per channel, is that a reasonable setup in theory, and what would be ballpark power output figures to expect or aim for?
What the audio world needs is an interview of Mr. Pass by someone who knows what to ask - Like ZM - now that would be an interview for the ages.
