Beautiful work. May I ask where you sourced the audio note chassis from ?

Looking good Bill. Love the black box. Nice to have the transformers separated from the board.
The Germans sure know how to wind a cap. I used MCaps in my Yaqin tube buffer and they are standard caps in my Grant Fidelity CD player. You will like the detail. I like to use Clarity in my AR speaker rebuilds. Would like to try some Intertechnik Audyn Copper Caps - pricey.

Beauty inside and out Bill.
Great work as always.
The SP14 is accurate and analytical.
This unit you built bill should make someone happy 😊

audiobill, How about an update. I'd like to know what you think of the Mundorf caps.

4 6sn7s in an Aikido configuration, 1 6x5 rectifier..
The Mundorfs are worth every cent!!!

With those Mundorfs that'd be a LOT of cents..........
Does your Pre have the Phono section?

Yes, 6sn7 sorry!
No phono section, I rarely spin vinyl and Emotiva XPS-1 does fine for that limited use.

I set the volume once and I am good.. However I will say not all recording are equal thereby an adjustment in volume is required. No doubt THE MAESTR/audiobill can accommodate. BTW...That day you mentioned is here!😂 |

What brand of 6SN7 tube did you choose and is it NOS or modern day?

The VTA preamps are superb.
Bluemeanies and I use the Shuguang CV181z tubes.
(6sn7 substitutes).
About $225 for a quad, but the best.
