All this talk about the upcoming amp has me thinking about Zen and Audio. There's already a book written about Zen and motorcycle maintenance, and one probably could write a book about Zen and audio as well.
I think Zen Mod has a point. The closer you get to the audio creation process, the closer you will be to enlightenment, Audio Nirvana. Building a kit is a good start; designing and building your own amp is better. And the closer to Audio Nirvana you get, the less you will want or need another amp.
A little off topic, I guess.
it already is
now, (almost) seriously .............. how to decide what is greater gift :
-vast number of projects, Pa gave us , over the years, or
- importance of proper attitude (have fun, ffsake!), or
- both of these, combined
?
what's, then, next amp - reason for joy, or frustration?
pictures attached having nothing with upcoming SIT amp, that's just me having fun, always being behind schedule at least for 3 amps and equal number of preamps

You may be on to something there. Truth be told, I’ve never ‘needed’ a great Hifi, class A amplifier. In fact, some of my best ‘audio’ memories revolve around crappy car stereos or PA systems. But there’s more to DIY audio than just the audio, and to your point, some of the greatest satisfaction I’ve had in this hobby has come from leaving the safety of the instruction book and experimenting on my own. I can only imagine that getting to the level of designing and building your own amp is pure bliss. In the meantime, I need to learn the mathz 🙂
When it comes to »Zen«, my thinking gets blurred. (Not only then)
Zen and audio make good sense here in the sit thread, but I wanted to get comical and then found Sacred Abjection in Zen Shakuhachi | Ethnomusicology Review ... fits even better
But maybe we should look more at semething like a violinmaker?

If one Vfet channel take 15 or 20 minutes in test and trimmer adjustements ..
then patience..huge work..probably more that one is tested at the same time..?

well, you can see plenty of images as that in few videos (S. Guttenberg) from Papa's Workshop
and Mighty ZM did saw all of that in vivo
though , being pushed through weight measuring station every time going in and out of workshop

that is a disturbing image. Now I have to go through some rehabilitation to get it out of my head

My favorite efficient rehabilitation " medicine " is a look at this Simple SE Sit Amp :^D
