Advice on getting a 45 built

Posted by TAdams (A) on December 16, 2014 at 09:23:13

I've got 8 ohm single drivers and would also like to add 16 ohm Zu's to the party. Looking at an integrated Yamamato 08 (no S, AC heated before went to DC) or a Loften White circuit. Not really sure which one would suit me best.

Please tell me if anything on my wishlist is unrealistic... was hoping for two inputs, one for dac and another from a phono stage, both 8 ohm and 16 ohm outputs as well as a headphone jack to be used with Senn 600/HifiMan 560. The headphone component can just use resistors or whatever it takes to match up with the phones, the speaker outs are the main focus. And lastly volume control so no preamp is needed.

Does this sound doable? This will have to be a fairly medium of the line build so no crazy expensive parts, any iron suggestions for this?

Is the Yammi circuit direct coupled to the output transformer? Does this design both offer both plenty of detail and harmonics? I'm looking at the Yammi over the Korneff circuit for the supposedly more gain. How does the Yammi circuit differ from a Loften White circuit in terms of listening experience? Perhaps I should be looking in this direction? I'd like to eek out every last drop of detail while still having tone and harmonics. Ultimately I guess I'm looking for an emotional euphonic amp but with realism and detail.

Anything else I should consider before progressing with a build?

Thanks
