RE: Julian loved his measurements

"Ha! I built one of these off this article. I etched the board myself, built a chasis by hand, did the whole thing from scratch. It was great fun. It drove a set of speakers I built myself from drivers scrounged from an old "console stereo" from a garrage sale. My next door neighbor was a woodwoorker and helped me build my first set of speakers in his garrage with all his expensive tools. (I was in high school, ANYTHING was expensive!)"

Hi John,

That was a big project! :) Nice! :) I prob read that issue one hundred times. Never built one though.

"I was feeding it from a reel to reel tape deck that I had gotten for free and rebuilt the head amp. Mostly listening to tapes I had recorded myself. It sounded really good to me. My parents thought so too, until I built the subwoofer, they weren't too sure about THAT!"

I had Dyna tubes. Built my own speakers (parts from Falcon UK) and later a TL sub. The older women in the apartment downstairs loved when I would play Olatunji Drums of Passion! She would bang on the pipes in rhythm! Parents were not too thrilled... :)

Ampzilla was a good sounding amp. I listened to the GAS amp many times.

One of the best systems I ever heard was at LYric Hi Fi. Mike Kay had the big Magnaplaner system with ARC D76As tri amped Ampzilla on the bottom with a coffin TL sub. Front end was a Linn with a Decca on an SME into a JC1. Just amazing sound back then! If I only had the $$$

regards
Bob
