Congrats, Cody! Thanks so much for posting pics and sharing experiences. I've been taking notes on any little "ookups" to include in a potential build guide / notes for future builders. Helps a ton.
Enjoy the tunes!
On a related note, the postman delivered a fresh set of BJ2 boards to go along with my Semisouths! I may not get to it until fall, but I am anxious to get it built. Then comes the LuDEF. 😀 It's good to have an addiction support group.

Exploded caps; miswired transformers – its all for the people!! 😀
It sounds superb! I'm passing a signal from Soekris DAC either direct (with digital volume control) or thru the Iron Pre. Iron Pre retains all the detail and energy, adds perhaps a touch of warmth and fullness. I'm a fan – well done sir!!

my favorite uncle is working on an amazing follower circuit, so I'm gonna have to come up with some more gain soon... 😀
Think I'll try IP buffer > AVC > BA-3FE > mystery CD follower. Thoughts?
It sounds really amazing as a straight buffer too (no iron). Could be fun to put gain jumper on a switch and have 0db, 6db, and 12db at the ready. ZM legoblocks 🙂
you wanna another cheap trick?
stack Edcor 600:15K (in same way as used in M2) after Iron Pre, and there is cheapest possible gain on market
almost enough for intended 60Vpp

Greedy Boyz have "gredy" as part of name - absolutely adequate

even if Greediest Boyz would be more adequate

I just meant the DIY'r with fancy for switches could do it – not a revision request 🙂
