Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Seikosha and Mapman,Everybody agrees that this amp isn't working properly. The tech actually sent Brian video of his scope readings and they confirmed a problem. I played some bass heavy music for Brian and even over Skype he could hear the distor... | |
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Oh, I also want to mention, for those of you who are interested, that Brian said that he is super curious to figure out what's going on because this is not typical of a build problem. Usually, he told me, either the amp is working fine or there's ... | |
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Hi, folks,Well, I got a personal message from one of you asking what's going on, so here's the latest.Brian and I spent a total of about an hour and a half on Skype yesterday, spread over a couple of sessions. We went through all the static AC and... | |

Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Jwm,Thanks. As I said earlier, Brian has a deep understanding of these kits and I'm hoping that if we work methodically through all the possible issues we stand a good chance of sorting this out. If not, we'll get Pete on the case. | |
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Well, Friends, no joy just yet.The technician, with guidance from Brian, was unable to troubleshoot the problem, even with the complement of new tubes. So, Brian and I will Skype early next week to see if we can troubleshoot the issue in that way ... | |
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Cal3713,Yes, no "my woofer's bigger than your woofer" allowed here! :-DWaiting to hear back from the tech today... | |
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Al,There's a "+" sign on the PCB for the electrolytic cap positions and also the the band on the cap itself that shows you which lead is "-" so it's pretty hard to screw that part up. DoesnÂt mean I couldn't have done so, but I think those are pr... | |
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Saki,Yes, when I think of it, I've started some doozy threads. The one about Ohm Walsh Micro Talls has run to over 2000 posts, last I checked. :-)Of course, when I start thinking about all the productive work I could've accomplished when I was spe... | |
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Al,Thanks for all that meticulous attention and for the kind, positive comments about my build. I hand't worked with a soldering iron in a few years but once I got the cobwebs out I LOVED the building experience and have really caught the DIY bug.... | |
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Just got an email from Brian with a tracking number. He is sending the technician replacement tubes for everything but the 300 B's. He's also sending along a couple of 300 B bypass capacitors in case those are bad, along with, I think, a replaceme... | |
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Jwm,That is certainly what I am expecting/hoping! | |
Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Veroman,Very interesting to me that you built speakers with Audio Nirvana drivers. I've spoken to David Dicks on the phone. I stumbled upon his $1500 300B SET amp and was intrigued, although I ultimately chose to build my own SET amp from a kit. B... | |
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Tubegroover,It's definitely an issue with the amp, but the question is what. Brian and the tech are on it.Some signs point right now to a bad tube but we'll see. Technician said the driver stage looked good but the output stage wasn't delivering f... |
