Wow Bambadoo, that looks nice and clean. I love the dual toroids
Modu just makes the best chassis around if you ask me.
I have electrostatic panels. My Hiraga of about 45Watt class A sounds really good on them, but it lacks power..... Panels are voltage hungry... that's why I made the NX. More power and good topology.
In about 1 hour I will listen to the NX on the panels I'm driving some Tannoy's now and it sounds really promissing.

Thank you Bonsai, glad you like it!
Just hooked it up in the livingroom on the panels. Nice sound stage! Needs burning in, that's for sure. But first impressions: close to my Hiraga but a bit harsher on the highs and mids. Bass is just fabulous! Dynamics are really good. Lets give it some time to "age" a bit and see how it develops.
This is a really good amp! Panels are not easy to drive and they are dead honest. Any flaw will present itself without being nice about it so if this was a bad amp, it would have been painfully clear from the start. As said, it is not! Very, very good!
No hum at all! I will update on the highs and mids as soon as this improves. I guess it will take some hours of playing

My guess is that you got used to the Low-fi of the Hiraga and are not used to hearing the highs and upper mids.I built 5 different Hiragas and all were low-fi sounding compared to all of my other amps.
They must be very low-fi if you are saying so!
Sting sounds great! Cat's need to stay out of the room for a while
Are those Finals [sp] you are driving?
If so, one of the toughest loads in the business at HF - they were referenced in an article by Keith howard in Stereophile.
All a matter of taste but Hiraga low-fi? Don't think so More like a tube sound... And that's a matter of taste i guess.
Hi-fi = accurate
Boosted 2nd and 3rd harmonics = not accurate.
My point is that if you are used to listening to amps that are not reproducing the highs accurately and ampt that does will sound "brighter" and even more harsh on some recordings.
yes, that is your problem. Big Loop Area.Note that there is lots of space in this cabinet. No separate wires even come close to one another.
You appear to have used coaxial for the input. That is a very good alternative to a twisted pair, if you have connected the screen/shield/Return at BOTH ends.
All your single wires should have a return route. The signal flow and the signal return should be run as a twisted pair.
This reduces the loop area and reduces the inteference.
Could this be a symptom of excessive interference?a bit harsher on the highs and mids
