I only hear hum when I hold my ear to the speaker. This amp sounds amazing! Thanks Papa!

(BTW: Previous pic is a test fit. Insulators were installed for final assembly!)

Wait until you try the other input stages! There is lots of fun still to be had.

Hello ppinto1,

you are in a 'slight danger' to get curious about the sound of all other available inputcards...
There are a few ones. 😵
Cheers
Dirk 😉

There's only eight. Ishikawa, Mountain View, Tucson, Austin, Norwood, IPS6, IPS7, Cedarburg. Comb thru the M2x thread and you can find posts from builders who say, in their own listening comparisons, input card "X" was definitely the best sounding. For all eight possible values of "X" 🤣

The people who sell Burson discrete-component opamps in DIP-8 pinout, are enthusiastic about [IPS7 with Burson plugged in]. Not a gigantic surprise.
