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.
Very nice gesture from Mr Pass.... hope karma rewards him
The Cosmos has already been more than generous.

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!

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

Shouldn't this be called VFET part 3? So confusing.
I had a similar thought. But in fairness, see picture
Thanks everyone 🙂

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!
