Title: Happy Customer
Post by: Fleawatt on December 07, 2013, 08:18:58 AM

I built one, bone stock stereomour, for a friend and recently completed a second one for myself.  ;D  I used Audyn Plus parafeed/coupling caps, an Alps Blue Velvet pot, eliminated the input selector switch and swapped out the 431's for 680 ohm resistors. (Noisefloor thread)
These amps are an amazing value.  Anyone on the fence about purchasing one shouldn't hesitate!

I suppose we should've mentioned that the 680 Ohm resistors can be 1/8 Watt.

Excellent job getting two of these beasts up and running!

The 10 watt resistors sound better due to their massive anti-resonant chassis.   ;)

My 2A3 wired stereomour underwent out-patient surgery tonight and four 10 watt lesions were removed in order to accommodate NOS Sylvania 45 heart valves.  Let's just say those lesions will be placed in the bio-hazard bin, never to return to the body!  ;D
I'm loving the 45's.
