LOL! Trust me, I wasn't being pedantic. I thought it was some fancy computer term I hadn't heard of! For me, this is not unusual

Lovely layout Tony, puts my own 'rats nest' efforts to shame!
WAD 2A3 PSE amp. 2003. Wanted a single ended sound, eventually went back to Kit6550 and then onto the 300B PP that I'm using now.
I'll drum up some pic's soon.

Well the credit for the design goes to Scottmoose over on Diyaudio. They are a design called Sachiko from the "Spawn of Frugal Horn" range. The plans are free to download form the site. The drivers are Fostex FE206's modified by Dave at Planet10. The build itself took me a while as I did not have a table saw so had to use a jigsaw / handsaw! but it was definitly worth it, I am very pleased with the results.

Heres pics of my ultilitarian power amp thats used for testing and general listening in the spare room where I do my DIY stuff.
The amp was cracked open as I was re adjusting the bias. Not pretty but works very well.

There's a good five minutes 'spot the difference' there, MikeWhat's the prize
