This is for brothers Cal, Joey, Tirso and also to Fr. Jim:

Got the opportunity to visit Ka Jo a few hours ago and personally witnessed this BEAST of an amp in action. The first thing I asked: Where the is the darn subwoofer? It's not turned on and only a pair of Wharf bookshelves were singing.

Well, I don't think I heard the Wharfs can sound that big. Partida pa yun, according to Ka Jo, he is still fine tuning the sound. BTW, the compact passive preamp was used so the sonic signature is really just the amp.

I don't know if I'm fortunate for not really having extra dough to get myself a unit right now, because if I do, I sure will have shell it out for a piece of that BEAST!

Hello Brother Sonny!

  With your info, you made me feel the need for a DIAPER!!!! :D :D :D :D ....I was told that this amp is a  Krell/ML/Ampzilla rolled into one! Then what would be the inherent sonic character of this BEAST? Got to hear this one also!!!  8) 8) 8) 8)

I just wouldn't like to see a situation where the baby sitter becomes an abductor. No, that's just a silly and sick joke!

I wish brothers Joey & Cal should hear how this amp performs in their own listening rooms. BTW, I failed to mention that the build is robust and simply gorgeous and quite heavy (the toroidal is very heavy too).

Hey Sonny, thanks for dropping by, always a pleasure having you grace our humble abode.

I'm glad you liked what you heard, in fact, you are among the very first ones to hear it. I'm thankful for your comments which confirmed my initial findings.

What you heard actually uses the crude "Luxman" way for the cascode devices, which in reality is just a simple resistive divider. You should hear it again when I adopt the "Accuphase" way for the cascode reference voltage and constant current mirrors.  ;)

Thanks again for dropping by!

jojo, kailan avalable ang boards nyan sa diyaudio store? saka pwede ba makabile ng boards sa office nyo?



tony, hopefully by mid April meron na sa store. as of now no, sa store lang pwede makabili kasi straight shipping yan from board manufacturer to our distribution office in US and Europe. only 2 pairs of boards are going straight to the office.

unless there is a significant number of local interest, say, 40 boards up then I can make some arrangements.
