Just ordered this little guy off the 'bay - about $70 including shipping. Looks likes it's getting some pretty good reviews.....C
Is this based off the Starving Student Millett?
I've got an original V.2 millett board with a built diamond buffer and a Millett Max board (both PCB's unpopulated) that I need to start one of these years. I built one of the original SOHA point to point and one of the V.2 Millett's with a Meier Crossfeed. I just sold a prototype Stacker II that I had built, but just didn't have the time to case it up. That was one of the best headamps I'd ever heard.

Shane, Nice lookin' stuff there!
I really know nothing about the amp's topology. It was an impulse buy (a reward to myself for one month of not smoking). Funny thing: I don't have headphones. I gave away my AKG240s about a year ago. Got to get some new cans. I leaning toward the Grado series, either the RS1i or 2i.....C
I'm feeling pretty good so far. I have a few weeks for my vocal chords to fully heal up. They wanted me to not speak for 2 weeks, but I'm sure you remember I'm not a quiet guy!!! LOL!!!
BTW I've got the parts for a all 16 ohm 4 Pi crossover since I have 2226J's and when I replaced the diaphrams in my Altec 291's I ordered 16 ohm from Great Plains to run my 500hz Edgar round tractix horns. I know that you don't recommend those horns for the 4-pi system, but I have had great success using them!
Steve Brown has built me a really neat 6V6 push-pull tube amp according to some requirements I gave him. Maybe he will chime in with pics and brief description of the amp. It uses the output trannys from a Dynaco SCA-35 amp whish is designed for ultra-linear operation. The original amp used 6BQ5/EL84's, but I persuaded Steve to do the 6V6 with octal tube (6SN7) 1st stage and phase splitter.

Steve does such great work! I've been meaning to get an amp from him too.
Does your neck hurt? Do you have to take special precautions when eating? Or is it specifically just vocal chords, so no talking?
On the Edgarhorns and my crossover, it's just that my crossover is designed specifically for waveguides and other CD horns. When using a horn that has collapsing DI, the top end has a little too much sizzle, on-axis. If you sit off axis, it will sound right though.
