Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass?

Built one w my daughter last Christmas when she was home from college.Took us a couple of days, probably 14 hrs total, but I did a lot of talking. She had never soldered before. I've done some kits.
Her gift was the finished amp. Mine was the time together.
Sounds great for what it is. Had so much fun w the build, I got their "SS-2" pre/headohone amp. They work well together.
I hope others check them out.

Not chip- discreet transistors.
The sides of the chassis are large heat sinks-
Even so it gets pretty warm! (class A).
7 watts on a side, switch on back to convert to 14 watt monoblock, also set up for XLR input 14 w mono.

There there is an old saying about opinions- everybody’s got one.
Do the build, make mistakes, learn from them, get help from others w more experience, get advice, take some w less than a grain of salt, enjoy the ride!
Listen!
