Thanks for the mention La45 !

My kit contains the (slightly) longer screws to match the butyl washers.

I hope Victor sees my last post, otherwise I'll contact him directly about my two questions.

I'm really curious of his mention of a two-chassis preamp and point-to-point wiring,
no boards to float and hopefully ?? a tube regulated power supply, how killer this would sound !

In the very begining, I called Joseph and asked what he thought of a separate power supply, but so much has been happening since that time, he may have forgotten.

Think about it kids, an all-out-assault preamp effort from Joseph ??

As good as the AH 2.0 and 2.1 are, this thing (maybe call it a 2.2) ? could literally smoke any and all competition in its path (probably still very affordable too)

Sherod, you and I would have to keep our curious hands off the insides !!

I can't wait to hear of an actual prototype, this could be very exciting.
Rx8man,
You might get a faster response from Victor by e-mailing him directly. I also am waiting for an answer from him as regards to my situation. At this time, my main system is shut down. Thank goodness I still have my bedroom system for some music.
I just had an interesting e-mail from Victor. It looks like Joseph might be focussing on either a high-powered SET amp at 30-55 Watts or a high-powered push-pull 150 watts. This should be fun to see what he comes up with.
I am thinking of trying a tube amp again and am considering a high powered PP or SET. Wonder how long this amp will take to bring to market? Like my Belles SS amp to be sure, but a recent Agon purchase has given me the tube bug again. I purchased a EL84 triode amp, 7 watts, made by Vu of Deja Vu audio. It is made with vintage transformers and high quality parts. It is a replica of a nice vintage tube amp from the 50's.

Wow, does this amp sound wonderful. Yes, I need more power when I want to play my music very loud, but this amp drives my Dali's pretty darn well.

Considering an ASL AQ1009 and several Vac amps. Perhaps even an ASL Hurricane.

FWIW: an owner replaced a pair of Darts with the WT350 monos and preferred them to a pair of Karan 1200s.
