1. ~8dB
2. 12W = ~14Vpk, (8dB ~2.5X)
3. The CCS FET is dissipating 1.6A X 16V = ~25W, so to keep the temp at 25C above ambient, you'll need a 1.0C/W heatsink or better. The SIT is dissipating 30W, and I suggest a much more generous sink for the SIT. .5C/W is good.
4. I agree, heresy.
Have fun 🙂

....... just thinking .... it seems we don't have enough pictures of speakers , in this thread .....
I thought it to be a good idea because people who want to build this lovely amp get a impression for fitting speakers....
I never go to a pub and I do not drink bear......I am a shy guy! Therefore I am doing electronics! 😀😀

Ive heard the large Zu audio Dominance is it? They are something. Very powerful, live sound. I bet the Pass SIT amps are a good compliment, probably tame the strong mid range.
Btw- got the 2sk82s in the mail today. 😀. ..and finished Zen 9. This is the amp building version of chain smoking...

here is my Sit place, rosalie the cow , avant-garde horn, threshold SL10 restored, and Ze Sit..
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

and with the rest of Caps and 1 watt resistor, a power supply for my moded airport express..

bon week-end generg..
it s a french man i know who sell it with the name of "La Rosita" or "Zardoz" i use it alone without external dac and it sounds very "analog" to my taste.. better than all the modern dac i have bought before ( weiss 202, berkeley alpha, accustic arts etc...) the "commercial models are a little expensive so i just bought the " moded airport module "from them and put it in a box with my own power
supply..

Anchan, I think a switchmode supply might be ideal for this amp. The best switchers I've found are Vicor models. These are very expensive (as much as $1400), but often show up on eBay for much less, sometimes $50. According to ilimzn, these SIT devices operate best holding the PSU voltage very steady. A switcher can accomplish that.
