Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...

Congratulations Rebbi! Looking forward to your impressions once it's burned in. I was tempted by your blog to head down the same path but instead chose instant gratification through the purchase of a used amp. I admire your spirit and determination.

I too was on pins and needles and checking the "My Forum Threads" link (which used to be on the left column but is now buried in the "Community" tab) at least twice a day hoping for updates and good news.

Rebbi, so glad to hear that they were able to quickly find the issue and I look forward to hearing your listening impressions.

And after switching to an SET amp with my Merlin VSMs, and then following your story, I was actually inspired to break out a soldering iron (for the first time in decades), take the crossovers out of my speakers and send them in to Bobby at Merlin for an upgrade to the current Black Magic edition.

So thanks for posting and blogging about your experience and keeping us all engrossed in your suspense thriller!
