    Any idea why the positive output terminal is tied to ground?

    The circuit Q1 is taking the signal from the drain and not the source, so the signal is inverted.

    Did a little customizing. The base holds a fan.

    I gotta admit, I have seen a lot of unique amps in my time but this one? This one may take the top spot.

    Very nice, Todd. If you don't mind me asking, what type/brand of rack is that?

    Thank you sir. I am having to look at rack options for the new room. There is no way I can utilize my current rack.

    I had Legacy Focus SEs. Sold them about 8 months ago. Skip let me borrow his Volterras for the last 2 months. The ones you see in the picture are mine with Dark Grey Sand finish. They look and sound great. Need a couple hundred hours on them.

    Glad to see your pair arrived. I know you’re excited to finally get them. Shipping issues stink.

    along with some new Revival Audio Atalante 5 Speakers to celebrate my 70th.

    A big relief to achieve good sound in the new room :) It's not as large as my last, but I've got room for everything.

    You don't need a Big room for Big sound. Congrats brother, looks great ...

    Happy belated 70th Mike!

    did you score the Legacy's from @tonyB ? . . . if so, that was a killer deal B)

    those Volts are awesome . . . I gotta get my ears on them

    No I purchased my Legacy’s direct from the factory.

    The Volterras are awesome.

    I just made an impulse buy. I picked a Revelation Audio Labs Precept CryoSilver Reference power cable, on the used market . Any thoughts? Am I dipping my toes in big boy territory?
