Thanks, very excited!

Thanks Dustin, please confirm receipt and send shipping info once you arrange that. I can't wait to hear those beauties!

I wasn't running the signal to my Fritz Rev7 SE speakers through the MiniDSP because I wanted to skip that circuitry and they need the full signal for the homespun swarm system I'm trying. To the subs it's a wired connection to all three in series from a bridged, modded dual mono Acurus A250. Weird setup, 18 ohms. Need to adjust it all using Omnimic soon but As of now have just ballparked it As you know, to control the volume through the DSP the cord needs to be connected to the laptop-clunky-and the other thing is I need one knob to control them all rather than two.

That would be great if you would do that wiring! The signal to the sub amp goes through a mini DSP but it would not change with the volume to the main speakers and that would be a pita. Let me know about that last cord question and the PP info. I'm going on a hike for the rest of the afternoon but in range a while longer if you want to complete this transaction.

OK, a few of our Q&A's overlapped in cyberspace but I think you addressed them all and we are all set. I guess I'll use Pay Pal so please give me your info. Re: sending an IEC cord I have some garden variety ones I'm not using so if you would just send that you could maybe skip it. Interested in your thoughts about how much it matters with this amp (not to open up some can of worms with everyone weighing in!). I'd be inclined to buy a heavy duty cable with some effort put into the design (nerdy details TBD) but I'm not sure that Pass himself cares about that. Your thoughts?

Thanks for those answers. Heat sounds like a non issue, and I think I from what you said could use the Korg fixed output for the sub amp. I like a clean and accurate sound but I already have that with my existing preamp so it would be fun to play with the Korg, I think. I have some isolation feet that would probably work on the Korg (tenderfoots from Herbie's audio lab). So I think I want the Korg, hopefully won't feel FOMO later too much.

...and another question. Neither amp is pictured with a power cable, and the preamp seems to have a socket on the back of the case that would require some sort of wall wart or inline transformer. What's the power cord situation, especially for the preamp?

I did notice that! I've never built an amp before, just worked on existing ones that run much cooler, so not sure how a ventilated case works out vs. a more closed one with chunky heat sinks, especially on an amp that puts out so much heat. My question was related to reliability, not aesthetics or build quality. I like the build! This last question is more out of curiosity and not so important but I can't really tell what the volume knob looks like in the pic of the front face of the Korg Nutube preamp--insufficient image resolution. Can you snap another pic of that? Re: the preamp, also wondering if it you could confirm that it would be easy to rewire the second input to be a second output or if I'd have to figure out another solution to send a second signal to my other amp to power the swarm subs. Seems like I could easily do this but wanted to make sure.

Thanks for you replies. One last question: looking at your F5 and the heat sink area vs. that of the First Watt version it seems like there could be less on your build.I know it's meant to run hot, of course, but please confirm that the heat sink area was designed to be enough. Thanks again, excited at the prospect of owning these! If you had to characterize the sound of the ACP vs. the Korg what would that be? Have not found much commentary online about the sound of the ACP.

Hi, I'm interested in the NuTube preamp and your power amp. I have a few questions. What methods do you accept for payment? Would you insure the package when you shipped it? How many hours have you run the amp? Can I assume you used all the same parts as 616 did in his build? Where would these be shipping from? Thanks in advance for your responses!
