Hi AK Always a pleasure. The Scott had all those things done to it, re-capped with good poly-props and tweaked phono-stage with 1% matched Rodersteins and etc. The amp I am looking at is a Williamson variation with long-tail phase-splitter, 10 db neg. feedback 6sn7 driver stage, the other one is a SE 211 with mercury vapor rectifier power supply and custom wound transformers. It puts out 20 watts at under 3% distortion across the band. This amp is designed by a guy in New Zealand and the phtos are very comprehensive and detailed. The only thing that has me worried is the ultra-high plate voltages, 1100 volts B+. The trannies are pricey, about 900$ for the outputs but they arte beautifully built. Keep you posted. I am on the list for the Stoekit so maybe this is all moot anyway if that amp sounds as good as they say!
