Waiting and Creating a Playlist
My parts kits arrived at Narita Airport today, so hopefully will receive within the next week but reading all these posts makes me smile!
As i had not built anything in a couple of years, I picked up a nice Elekit-8600S (300B) kit amp to dust the soldering rust off...
Now the question will be how to re-arrange once the VFET #63 is ready for listening room.

With a friend, we try to play computer and audio card connected directly to ACA
without any preamplifier and its work like a charm.
SE Vfet have ~10 dBs of gain the same like ACA but more power
so I guess will be even more pleasant and easy to drive the 8 Ohm speakers
in similar configuration with audio card

maybe the Vfet will reside in my studio, its the most critical listening room, cause i work there, and music plays the whole day ; )
I actually have the nice playing ACA there.
When i made it, i got the Gerber files from member Kacernator with B1 buffer included.
It was recommended for the use with "just" direct digital lousy devices like Ipod etc. There was the saying that without buffer, lousy device messes with feedback loop, impedance mismatch...
Don´t know how "robust" the actual FE is for "lousy device" use.
Does anybody?
The problem with very efficient speakers like +105dB is that there might always be a "hiss-sound" as "background". It requires that there is just enough gain and ACP+ could be a perfect amp for the Klipsch as the only amp? ....was it Klipsch hornspeakers?
Or just a buffer + VFET.
Probably the Tannoys have a nice impedance curve for a low current amp?

Three of the six front-end cards have JFET input, and the other three front-end cards do not. Have a look at Scourge and Bulwark for example.
O.K. got my case today......one case for one amp!
Very unusual for me, my last case saw since 2007 around 15 different builds in it.
I found always two holes for the screws to fit a board tor a test.....
NOW pure luxury, even correct round holes and writings on the back........!

I know what you mean. I have exactly one case for amps, and one case for preamps. The bottom of the preamp case is beginning to look like swiss cheese
It was such a pleasure betting to build a nice, new chassis (for one amp!)
It is now called an iPhone and does way more than just play music.
And if you don’t need as much power, screen, or cel capability the iPod Touch is still available.

I did a little wiring over my lunch break. I ran the power wires underneath the output board.
I was feeling under the weather the last two nights, so I did not build. I should finish tonight or tomorrow if all goes well. I can’t wait to hear this beauty on my horns!
