"After several hours of building this amp it was finally time 
to test it out. I hooked it up to a pair of 6 inch speakers 
just laying on the bench. Popped in a CD,and all this 
great fidelity just started pouring out of these little cheap speakers! 
It was fantastic, I then made the final adjustments and buttoned up 
the project. It was now time to hook it up to my large speakers.  
I could not believe my ears,The highs were crystal clear, 
the mids were as warm as the sun. The bass is absolutely thunderous. 
The combined great looks and sound of this unit well outweighed 
the purchase price.It was also fun to build. 
I strongly recommend this amp to any audiophile." 
       R.B.McCullum      (ST80 kit buyer)

"It is the best sounding amp I have ever had and I have had a LOT of amps.
	   Thanks again, Barry"     (ST80 kit buyer)

"hi roy
I have to tell you what I did..I put together the 
board of yours and then I wired it to my Dynaco ST70.
Let me tell you this is the most stable, accurate, fast, 
solid sounding mod I've ever heard on a Dynaco...
I am going to build another amp with them but I wanted 
to try this and WOW.  I couldn't believe the drive they have.  
Oh by the way a friend of mine had the Curcio modded amps 
and he heard these tonite and he said this is a 
much better sounding design than the Curico." 
     mike    (ST70 mod)


"I finished your mod and this is honest to god the first time 
I ever enjoyed listening to an ST70..The ST70s to me have always 
sounded kind of sloppy, but this mod tightened it up and the overall 
tonal balance is much much much better.  The biggest thing I noticed 
was the lininerity of the sound and the focus of the instruments 
possess an exponential difference now as opposed to the stock ST70.
The amp is tighter and much faster."
    Bill     (ST70 mod)


I have only run my ST-70 a few hours, and let me tell you 
how happy I am from the sweet sound I'm hearing.  
Compared to stock there is NO comparison.  
Better highs, deeper and wider soundstage and tauter bass, 
more transparent and better detail by a factor of 10.  
I heard an ST-70 with a Curcio upgrade last night driving 
the same speaker I have and using a higly regarded preamp  
and in my ears, there is no contest.  Thanks very much.  
A very happy customer.  - J.R.  (ST70 mod)


"Roy
  I can't believe how nice these CDs are..They are most valuable tool 
any vintage audio enthusiast could own.  This is like the stuff you 
find on line only its a lot better becuase when i go to your files 
I can see the pictures and info much much clearer than on the 
sites.  Any audiophile or vintage audio enthusiast that doesnt buy these 
is brain dead.  This is the deal of the century.  I'm well satified."
   Mike     (Tube Audio CD)


"I wanted to tell you those CDs I got from you are 
the BEST investment I've ever made..
It's the most valuable asset any 
service tech or mod shop could have..
Those CDs have a lot more than just stuff 
you got off line..There is complete manuals 
service owners plus loads of schematics..
These CDs are a must!!"
    Martin      (PreAmp & PowerAmp CDs)

"Your kit certainly has a "faster" sound with better bass, 
both in quantity and in tone. I also find it very dynamic. 
Your price is well worth it. After I have it in a case 
I plan to take it by a friend of mine with a stereo store 
and compare it with some of his high end stuff like the Krell 
and Cary stuff. 
I will be purchasing another board from you, as this 
sounds very good and I would certainly like to hear a preamp 
that sounded "considerably better".  I don't know if I 
mentioned this but the preamp is very quiet, 
I run supposedly 100db/w/m/ horns and its as quiet
as a mouse, as quiet as the preamp I was using before 
which it has now replaced."
  Andrew B.        (hi-end preamp kit)

Listening this afternoon was a joy.  In a word, the preamp 
is neutral.  It allows you to listen to the work done at the 
mastering console.  I'm able to hear microphone techniques 
and how the engineer mixed the recording.  
For me, that's how an amplifier is supposed to "sound".  
Transient response is quick, you can hear all the subtleties 
and nuances in the recording.  
I do so enjoy listening to vinyl records, therefore I spent 
a goodly amount of time listening to the phono section.  
The first thing that I noticed was the neutrality of the amplifier.  
When the recording was well mixed & mastered, the amplifier
passed it on without adding or subtracting anything.  
Playing CDs through the line section is a joy.  It's fast, 
articulate, and allows the subtleties to pass.  
One thing that comes to mind is that it sounds so relaxed while 
reproducing the source.  Frequency extension is right there.  
The high end extends to the limits of the recording without 
making me want to turn down the volume, or worse yet, turn off the system.
The bass end is very tight and extends as deeply as the source.  
The middle range, well, what can I say?  It makes you sit up and listen, 
and not because it's pronounced.  It simply sounds neutral.  
“Correct”, as my wife said last night. 
I'm listening to the preamp daily.  
It's such a joy to listen the music.
