I was playing lately with the Single-stage Melq and the DHT amp driving MF channel. It turned out that the Sun Audio VT-2A3 was very simple kit and it 2-3 hours to make it working. There is a lot in this kit that I do not like and some revisions will...

Possible, I never was a big fun of 6E5P without Milq type of bias. I remember what when I did the simple fixed bias when a few year back I was trying to make Milq to sound “contestable” with ML2 it was racy and jumpy sound but nothing special. I feel...
