ablaze 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2003 amp is built by fyleow and sounds great. but I think I need a source upgrade more than an amp upgrade at this time pics here Breakdown of parts. Hand Matched Vishay Dale 1% metal film resistors Hand Mathced Transistors Talema Toroidal Transformer Neutrik 1/4 locking jack Alps Black Beauty Potentiometer Panasonic Capacitors (for powersupply) Vishay Spargue Orange Drop Capacitors (for amp) OPA227 Cardas GRFA female RCA connectors Power supply is connected with a DIN connection to the amp. Hammond black andonized aluminum case. these are parts as good, if not better than the usual antness built one. asking for a low low S$450 flat. this was a US$500 amp! this is a killer price for a killer amp. don't wait note: this is a US version ie. 120v, so local guys have to use a step-down transformer. or I could throw it in for $20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RawHit 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2003 (edited) OT....KGCA is an Electrostatic Amp...I think the amp we are talking abt here is a Gilmore Dynamic? and a free bump too Edited August 4, 2003 by RawHit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablaze 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2003 I thought KGCA is Kevin Gilmore Class A amp. the electrostatic is the KGSS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evil-zen 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2003 the CA in KGCA means class A. it is the correct term for the dynamic circuit. The electrostatic circuit is normally called KGSS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firefox 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2003 (edited) For those who are getting the amp for 240v use, I can modify the wiring for the amp's PSU to use AC 240v by default as the step-down transformer might affect the sound.
