(upgrading my vinyl rig)

Well then here's your new phono stage.

Dew eet!

[deepak]

You guys are nuts

[aerius]

It's an excellent phono amp, you should definitely get one.

Or maybe you can get their pre-amp...

[philodox]

Not a big fan of how that one looks. \

[Dusty Chalk]

AudioValve RKV with Impedanzer is intended to drive speakers...but it's not SET.

aerius any estimate on how much the Wavelength Bugle would cost to build?

Looks to be in the ballpark of $1-1.5k depending on the parts used and how fancy you get with the case. I could be a bit on the low side since I haven't priced out capacitors lately.

Wow, that thins is hideous.

[aerius]

And now for something completely different.

A push-pull design using directly heated pentodes. Puts out around 4 watts per channel.

[spritzer]

This could be turned into a Stax amp as well. Could be pretty nice indeed

[deepak]

I'm going to use the Beetah twenty twos speaker outs with the Duos in the in term.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, but I realized an in between amp would drive me crazy and it will be all that much sweeter when I get those 300B amps.

And I might get a chance to hear the B22 with some Duos, depending on when it's finished.

e: I still need a preamp (preferrably with remote, laziness ftw)

for 995$

To be found at www.decware.com .

Check out the HDT speakers while you are at it. These have been very well reviewed over in the Asylum and AudioKarma.

I do appreciate it slwiser, but nothing beats paying nothing to use my B22

[Nanoha]

What is your pre going to be? Going integrated? Using your b22 as a pre?

The B22 will be an integrated amp (with nice headphone amp )

When I get the blocks I'd like a pre with a remote control.

Ah ha. I see.

The last thing I'm doing after busting my ass all day is getting up and walking 10 feet to change the volume

[n_maher]

I'm sure the beta could be reconfigured to use both remote volume and source control. That'd be the route I'd go before adding another preamp to the chain.

There's always that balanced remote 99 step attenuator that sft used in the dynamights.

I can hook that up jpak, if you so choose.

Yet another link that I will have lost if Head-fi doesn't come back.

Doesn't it need to be 4-channel for balanced operation?
