| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Which Jupiters did you get exactly, John? | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... John,Thank you for your post. I am very interested in this whole issue of different 300 B tubes, the effect they have on the sound and particularly the break-in time needed for the tube to show its true character in a given amp. Is there a general... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Map,Yes, I agree that the Kit 1 needs to sit on a top shelf. I can't imagine that closing it up in any kind of a cabinet where it didn't have free air circulation would be a very good idea  I think the heat buildup could be dangerous to the amp ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Yes, Charles, thanks, I believe the amp does have lots of potential. Better 300B's and an upgraded power cord are possibilities. Then there are also the Audio Note Copper Foil caps that could easily be swapped in for the Mudorf Gold/Silver/Oil cap... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Map,The amp is 17 inches wide and 12.5 inches deep. The highest point on the amp is the very top of the 300B tubes, which measures about 9 inches high from the surface of the shelf the amp sits on.I would not recommend running the amp in an area w... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Map,I was working with a combination of the manual for the previous version of the Kit 1, along with an in-process version of the new manual. The new manual is either nearly or entirely complete. Brian is redoing all the manuals and working with a... | |

| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Working on another blog post. Should be up in a day or two. It'll feature photos of the amp which now has the very pretty copper tube insert plate. I'll also have a few pics of Digital Pete's handiwork in prettying up some of the wiring, etc... St... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... I've never heard Sebrof's main speakers but I've seen them and they're impressively huge. ;-) He has a very nice listening space, too! | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Charles, yes, what the Kit 1 does in terms of purity of tone and the ability to re-create ambient space (where it exists on the recording) and unravel complex musical material is quite something. I feel like I owe you some thanks for inspiring me ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Amp sounds amazing! Orchestral music is especially intoxicating. Soundstage is huge!Rob: Just for fun, spoke with Eric Alexander today. He recommends the Lore 2.0 in my room with my amp. Thinking about it. As great as my rig now sounds, IÂm curio... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Thanks everybody! More to come. Off for some listening now... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Everyone,I am happy to report that the amplifier arrived yesterday, safe and sound. Pete did a superb job packing the unit. It came in two boxes, one for the amp itself and one for the tubes. The amp was lovingly packed and double boxed. Nothing U... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Jwm,The two packages (I take it one of them contains the tubes) are due in Austin on Monday. Can't wait! |
