- Many of the glass audio projects are very worth while. I have built
- a couple of the preamp type projects, curcio preamp and headamp and
- both worked out ok. Many of the projects are not "kit" easy. Most
- require a good voltmeter and some require a scope to really set the
- final product up. I think that most of the amp projects fall into
- the second catagory.
- My opinion on using transformers from cheap integrated amps is that
- it is risky at best. You could spend much time working on an amp
- just to find that it doesn't stack up. I would rather spend my time
- trying to make an amp form more valuable transformers knowing that
- atleast good results can be had, if not exellent results. If one
- must build am amp from such lesser know transformers i think one would
- be best off using a good name at least, say Fisher. For example fisher
- made quite a few amps that are less well known, such as the sa300, although
- people have discovered the assets of its iron.
- It turns out to be quite a bit of work to build an amp and it would
- sad to find out that it was all for less than good level of sound.
