Well done Mr.Pass

I will follow this closely fingers crossed

 

[BRN]

I’m really happy to be part of such a wonderful community. Though I’m most likely not going to put my hat in the ring. I just want to say thanks to everyone that has provided me with help. This is just another example of that generosity.

 

[Nelson Pass]

Very nice gesture from Mr Pass.... hope karma rewards him

The Cosmos has already been more than generous.

 

[edmararj]

Congratulations Mr. Pass. And thank you for the gift!
I know I will have few chances, but I will try to bring one of these jewels to Brazil!

Shouldn't this be called VFET part 3? So confusing.

I am practicing in my head of how I a going to explain to my wife that I need another power amp, a very special amp. It make perfect sense to all of us but I am sure it will sounds insane to my wife. I don't even have a set of appropriate speakers for this beautiful amplifier. So now I need the VFET amp and speakers.
I guess I'll eave work 2 hours early to place a bid and let fate decide whether or not I shall have the amp and a lot of explaining to do.

Will part 2 appear before the lottery for those who don't know if they want the P or the N version?

I've run ACAs into LX-minis, Frugel-Horns and Focal Micro-Utopias. So for the sake of your marriage I think you can safely postpone the new speakers, for a while anyway.

maybe i will not participate because i don‘t want to „lose“.

 

[Brinkman]

I have a $100 flower arrangement arriving for my wife at her work on the 7th because I like to be prepared.

 

[mr_whocares]

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it ...

PS.
Many many thanks, Mr. Pass!

I had a similar thought. But in fairness, see picture

Thanks everyone

 

[Thomaudio]

This is exciting indeed. Love to hear a direct comparison with my upcoming SET amp that should put out similar power ... once I squeeze out some time to finish it.

Well, I've been a member since Jan 2013, and this is my first post. So, I basically have no chance of winning. But dag! I sure would love to! I'm building a pair of GR-Research NX_Studio monitor speakers and this would make an excellent match for them!

It's a test.

ZM suggested it...

This is an incredibly generous offer that includes a donation to worthy charities. Everyone who can should just put their hat in the ring and hope for the best. For those who “never win anything”... neither did I until I entered to win a pair of SemiSouth JFets donated by CodyT, with an equally matched generous offer from Papa to give pairs to the others that entered. Life in itself is a lottery. Let’s all collectively anticipate the best and be happy for anyone who wins an opportunity to own one of these projects!

I don't see a loss, just a delay...
