Hi,
I guess this introduction is very VERY long overdue (registered in 2004, yikes).
DiyAudio has always been the source of great knowledge with a great community for me - and time after time I have learned that community is more important than anything else. When I was younger, electronics was my "passion" and I always preferred to disassemble some old amplifier/radio to football classes. In the end, I chose a different career path in my life (SW developer), but I was always fiddling with some electronic projects on the side, mostly DIY amplifiers but also SMPS audio power supplies and sometimes even speaker boxes and room audio discussions.
Yet, I never found the need to add something to the threads themselves - there were usually multiple people well more qualified already answering all the questions and having great suggestions. I usually dwelled in old, long-forgotten threads more than the new projects.
Yesterday I stumbled upon group buy post about another EOL transistor - seemingly the last good VAS pairs - and I told my self, well, it's now or never, but I couldn't reply. And then it hit me why, shame on me!
So please,
Accept my apology & long overdue introduction to this great community.

Here are some of the designs I have built over the years. None of these are my original designs (although I have built some of my own), but I always make some modifications to the existing constructions.
They are: Double lateral mosfet amplifier with jfet input, diamond buffer headphone amplifier (small and larger version with iprovements, crossfeed and so on), "high-end" preamplifier and phono aplifier.
