Nelson Bass,
I will have to do some research on Atma-sphere OTLs. Making a tube amplifier does interest me. I felt the need to make the F5 as the reference for comparison. The F6 looks less familiar with the transformers, so I would probably stay away. Some version of the J2 may be interesting if the supply of SemiSouth are not depleted or suitable replacements arrive if and when I decide to build. I also have some interest in the 7 Pi speakers. An intermediate step may be to educate myself on amplifier design basics.
Maybe bi-amping does not make sense. I have not particular goal for sound improvement in mind. I am probably just looking for an excuse to build another amp.
A DAC is definitely on the top of my priorities. After I built my 4 Pi's, I discovered how bad digital music playback can be. The term jitter was new to me and I thought the transfer of digital information was perfect. I am reasonably happy with my Squeezebox Touch, but there should be room for improvement.
Dave
