Good to have you back. I am glad you have given that post some thought because I believe it is important. What is the point of doing all this work if you can buy a better sounding unit for less. Reading a review of C.E.S. by John Broskie; the guy who writes the Tube Cad Journal; he states that he listened to The Prima Luna amp and he thinks it doesn't pay to build your own if you can buy this amp this cheap and have it sound this good.
Thats my point; it has to do more than sit there; it must sound good. Many of the recent tube amps I have listened to; seems they are designing them to sound like solid state amps now. Bummer.
Sorry about the transformer; I did the same thing two weeks ago on my DOZ pre-amp.
About beefier parts; we are deciding exactly how to proceed in terms of PS and whether to choke load or not. Wayne goes with the choke and I feel the same. Keep you posted. J.R.
