Whereby I construct an Aikido output stage for various DIY DACs.
In this thread I will make vain attempts to build a good sounding non-resonant LCLC power supply, fumble around with grounding, experiment with different tubes and dissipations, clumsily interface with some Twisted Pear and PCM63 DACs in different ways, recklessly compare CREE diodes against tube rectification without the benefit of blind testing, and more.
Suggestions, corrections, ideas, or poignant personal Aikido experiences are encouraged.
I’ll be using Broskie’s fabu boards. Attached is a picture with composite teflon sockets installed. I wanted to use teflon and was able to find some nice PCB mount ones at DiyHifi Supply:

Note: Expect this project to move slowly while I gather parts.
