Haven't heard one of these, but I have had my eyes on building one for a while. But the weather's warming up, and that means speaker projects. Amp building is cold-weather projects. Check out the other projects at Bob's site. Lot's of good ideas. Gar.

A friend of mine has an amp that's very similar to Bob D's "Darling." It uses a 6SL7 pushing a parallel pair of 1626's for 1.5 WPC. It has incredible speed and and good dynamics, with very articulate textures. The bass weight and slam far exceed it's modest power output. Microdetail abounds, yet it's quite smooth with no grain, glare, or brightness, and has great frequency balance from top to bottom. All in all, it's a winner for sure. If Bob D's amp sounds better than my friend's, I don't even wanna hear it......... Thermionic
