yup.. the CTH is quite a bang for the buck. Its design philosophy is pretty similar to the stacker hybrid headphone amp.


Lots more of the tube magic than the EHHA.

It is probably the only Cavalli DIY amp I have not built ( something I will have to address at some point ) but I have heard it agree that it punches well above it's mark..dB

Would love to hear a Dynahi someday.  How does it compare to the GS-1?  No 'Dynahi is a GS-1 on steroids' posts please :)p3

Yea, thanks a ton for those boards Sachu.  I've got some fpe panels in the works to dress up the amp a bit more.  Maybe I can have an offering for the august meet.  Hopefully I can make it down south and bring along all of the DIY stuffs.
