copy/paste sa big DiyA
my Kido (sister's son), living in Miami - came first time after 4yrs, to see all of us in Old Country
deal was - I'm going to make one smaller and not-so-hot amp for him, to bring back to US
smaller - easier to haul in plane, not-so-hot - logically
also made small passive (motorized 10K Alps) as temporary solution, while Iron Pumpkin SE + pair of 12" Tannoys with xovers is planned for next year visit
so, I had adequate 2HE/300 case (not new, back to full DIY recycle spirit), ordered custom Donut with Yank primary, had populated Il Penitente boards ........ everything perfect for few lazy afternoons fun work - ended as luke-warm Babelfish M25
spk terminals NOS Hirschman, can't ask for better
RCA, some generic drek, good enough, certainly better than 70% of gold anodized whatsthats around
rails 22Vdc-ish, Iq set to 40W heat per side
they (Kido and his SheBoss) landed today, and I already got pic of new setup singing
proper amp IKEA furniture already ordered, same as new (all film) caps for Yam NS200MA
yup, Uncle ZM gave him some solder wire, so Viber session for caps changing is inevitable
didn't had any Yank mains solder iron to give, so we ordered nice cheap one from amzn
happiest audiophiles are unspoiled ones, having luck to get some guidance, while really having interest only in music
ZM, happy Uncle
