    If you need character witnesses there are a few characters here that I’m fairly certain would vouch for me.

    Should this come to pass we’ll work it out.

    That's a big 10-4.

    That would (should) be a pretty appropriate match, FYI and FWIW.
    Plan B can always be to get on the DIY mailing list for the next run of kits and build your own :)

    FWIW, this is what I've used one with, to pretty good effect.

    you can see @ALL212's earlier, "stereo" build ACA on the bottom shelf of the little table by the center window. :)

    Work keeps me occupied about 80 hours a week. I have tubes but there's times when I've got an hour and 15 minutes to listen to lunch time and I'd like something I just flip on and not worry about short cycling the tubes

    I'd offer to build one for you but I am notoriously (preternaturally) slow.

    ooh, I just noticed the T900A supertweeters in that photo. Nice.

    Used to use a pair of T90A here; the little Fostex bullets are nice little (super)tweeters.

    Amazing I've went from wisdom panels that required massive power to horns that really only need 3 to 5 watts

    Ok...H9 has officially declared uncle for the same reason I'm selling it. I'd have to buy more stuff to use it and also find someplace to put it all.

    Just so we're clear...

    This is the 3rd one I've built. The first of which were fairly stock mono's and they live in Chicago. The 2nd a very custom one combining the boards into one chassis that lives with Mhardy today. (I still like that build!!)

    This is just a power amp. I also built this before the official build guide was put out. Not my fault - it came with directions that worked with a few changes. There are a few things that do not match the current official build guide but work perfectly.

    1) The front power switch is unused. I don't like dragging power through the entire chassis anyway so I was perfectly happy doing it this way.
    2) The power switch is supplied via the balanced/unbalanced switch in the back. I like the power on all the time so this was "a good idea" to me. There is NO balanced/unbalanced function. It is all unbalanced RCA. The balanced connection is there - nothing wired to it (on purpose).
    3) Without a major rewire this amp cannot be used with balanced inputs nor as a mono.
    4) The wiring is very nice - Mogami 2534 grounded inputs and Canare wire going to the speaker connections. Power wire is what was supplied for their speaker connections and is pretty heavy stuff. Led's are wired with twisted cat5.
    6) Caps are Nichicon FG (Fine Gold) and the big blue KA (audio). I believe all other components are stock.
    5) I'm not willing to rewire or rebuild it.

    It does work perfectly as a stereo amp. If you have any questions just yell. I'll take more pictures and/or answer any questions.

    If this still sounds good let's begin the PMing and get 'er to you!

    Oh! And a big thank you to all the characters that chimed in as to my character. Much appreciated!!! Your checks are all in the mail. Some are more than others based on the BS supplied. B):D
