Thanks to Shannon for another fun and inexpensive project. This one features Elna Silmic II electrolytics, Koa Speers resistors, a Noble potentiometer, Cardas wiring, and Russian silver mica caps. Makes my Sennheisers sound great!! :D

It's my first time using them, but I'm pleased as punch with them in this build. There are a few builders who feel they sound as good (if not better) than the Russian Teflons. I have another set that I hope to use soon.

Thanks Geek, it's mildly steampunk without being overtly so ;)

So glad I found this, This is exactly how I would envision a hifi amp to look like. I havent ordered parts except board which I should have today and My Edcors(6-8week buildtime) That should give me time since I tend to build different things at the same time due to a.d.d. I come from the land of guitar amp and pedals so I need to learn which better parts work for hifi builds
