It'll take the voltage if the caps are rated. You'll have to describe how you like the sound. Keantoken mentioned earlier that it might sound better with a bit less voltage. But I'm running higher than everyone else and it sounds great, so I'm not sure how important it even happens to be.
The transistors see a bit less than a 4th of the voltage (18/4=4.5 so a bit less than 4.5v). I think it might be better to have this headroom with some sources. My phono preamp claims up to 9v.

Hello everyone
I realized the Kuartlotron there is already a lot of time and this buffer is a small jewel. After some requests I took again my printed circuit design with a better placement and a plan of mass which proved however useless.
If the request is made I will be able to post the manufacturing files.

I have made an active 3 way active crossover with this buffer and I like it very very much. I even tried to drive the xo with this buffer. Probably the load is too much for the buffer since an AD815 based buffer gave me a much better slam and control. Unfortunatly the AD815 hasn't the magic and rightness of the Kuartlotron. Has anyone tried to add one more stage (BD139/140) to add muscles to this beautifull buffer?
