Ahh, that's a shame. I think it's the coolest looking amp you've built.

I watched this the other day. Sounded so goooood

Not a great deal tbh. Paul's wife has just delivered their second kid and he's mainly working on custom guitars. We've got a few prototypes for other stuff in the works still but spare time is at a premium for me right now so I don't get to pick up the soldering iron all that often although I do hope to demo some stuff this quarter!

thanks for the 411. Just checking up on the UK contingent of the DR builders.

I have a few custom OTs in the mail though so I'll be playing with those soon

nice. I do feel sorry there just is not the greatest source of iron over there. I have been getting custom heyboer stuff for great prices. The DR103 iron in the DA120 is fuckin massive sounding.

I'm getting them from Italy. A company over there does stuff which is pretty much to the Onetics SLO spec for a fraction of the price! Real beefy full range OTs for less than I'd pay for a hammond drop in and much less than the hammond hifi stuff! Kinda interested in the KT120 again as some stable designs have been showing up recently although I'm not too sure how AB2 sounds for guitar use and 140W a pair isn't to be sniffed at!

check the annunaki demoes. All AB2 in that design. I dont think that colored the sound as much as the preamp dictates a lot of it

Kinda lost on the AB2 part (PI coupling?), but i can definitely say that the Annunaki preamp is the most responsive and variable I've ever used.

AB2 refers to directly coupling the phase inverter to the grids of the power tubes so that when the positive peak of the AC waveform drives the grids into conduction, the direct coupling allows for current to flow and thus little or no blocking distortion and more power.

I think I'm following you, so it helps keep the power section cleaner while at a higher volume? If so I can definitely see why you chose that for the Naki.
