Many projects on this side:
I purchased a NOS Panasonic Strain gauge cartridge. I've designed and started building a mega preamp for it using 437A tubes. All regulated and with four MQ pieces of iron in the PS. Per channel, of course!
I've started preparing to build an all SET OTL system with the 800 Philips widerange drivers and Ionovac tweeters (Ha Doc, how about this project for them). Still need to get high impedance woofers. I'll start with modifies Cracks to prove the concept before building 6c33 amps.
I'll install switches to short the primaries of my six amps (and the 5 in the HT too).
I'll rebuild six amps as low power DC 300Bs for a friend to demo his commercial horns at RMAF in October.
I'm planning a system office with Jordan minimonitors and Aurum Cantus tweeters with Griffin's design but with pllxos and SETs.
And finally. I've been known for trying things outside the BH world in the past. This time I purchased an EAR amp to use with my Quads. 32 watts of pp class a triodes sans feedback. So far the combination is magical. Now I know why Tim de Paravicini is famous and where the Quads reputation comes from. If I didn't know better I'd say this amp was SET and designed by PJ!
BTW Doc, you said the Quads highs were like plastic. Well, you were being nice, 'cause the mids sound plasticky too. But what they do they do very, very nicely.
Good Sunday all!
