I just finished building my 2A3 SE amp.
I used an Aikido stereo PCB as a front end. I have been collecting parts since last year. The PT was a custom wound toroid courtesy of Boris at Vista Audio. OTs are stock James. It uses fixed bias so no cathode resistors or bypass caps. AC filament power. Choke input power supply.
Sorry about the pic...I will take some better ones later. I am doing some listening tests right now. My initial impressions are that it it very crisp and detailed. Great bass without being boomy. Every small audio detail comes through like the delicate sounds in the backround at the beginning of the Doobie Bros "Black Water". I heard all those harp/zither strings being strummed in the backround and those delicate chimes.
I can see now why people get excited over these big power triode SE amps. I know I am going to relisten to a lot of my CDs and vinyl now.
