I bet that preamp is stunning to listen to. Bruce is a genius when it comes to designing preamp and amp circuits, no question about it.
I built two of Bruce's kits, the GG and the power filter.
My GG has worked perfectly since first startup and still after 10+ years.
The power filter worked perfectly from initial power up, until months later I broke the IEC socket supplied with the kit. And it is unusual design and I was never able to get a replacement. So I am still out $500 on that one.
Kitbuilding for me does require concentration and discipline to succeed, because I have very limited capacity to troubleshoot later.
- I can only work an hour or so at a session
- I always, assume the step I just completed is wrong, I just made a mistake, so I must find the mistake before moving onto next step
- if I can't find your mistake, quit the session and come back later and check again
- if I still can't find a mistake, maybe I did it right, so move onto the next step
- when I complete a step and it checks out, I go back and quickly re-check the previous step also
- I will use a variac and current monitor device on first powerup
