Typical 2-stage driver vs. Interstage cost


Wow. It's almost a wash up between the two financially!

My cost for a pair of LL1660's: $130.00
pair of 6C45's $ 40.00
---------
$170.00

Alternative: Ned's EF86/12AU7 boards with Sprague Caps $86.00
Pair Sovtek EF86s $26.00
Single 12AU7 or 12BH7 $12.00
--------
$124.00

Ned's board probably is the best deal considering ordering parts
from Mouser and what not will add to shipping costs quickly.
Going for NOS 12AU7s will certainly add to the cost.

I've leave it up to other people to argue the sonic merits
of two stage interstage coupled versus two stage capacitor coupled.
