Further info on the amp can be had here- http://www.cavalliaudio.com/diy/cth/main.php?page=overview

Then again- why the CTH?

P.S. The enclosure is real sexy.

Absolutely gorgeous casing, and have been waiting for this one. Depending on how much DIY-ability is needed, I'd probably pay extra for the labor fees just to have it shipped to me ready to go out of the box.

Pricing would be helpful Luis! :) You have my email and everything.

Why not?  LFF obviously likes it quite a bit to want to offer it.

We made some slight changes to the BOM which we feel offers superior performance to a regular CTH. I know there is at least one Pirate who owns a Joe Audio pimped out CTH. Once built, it's a darn sexy looking amp with great sound at an affordable price.

For pricing and info, please email either Tim at Tim@JoeAudiophile.com or Mike at Mike@JoeAudiophile.com.    :)p2

In any case- great job! I appreciate any contribution to the DIY movement. Especially if it's something more than a simple chipamp.

I haven't heard a lot about the CTH, that's all. I hope it didn't look like a snarky remark or anything... I wonder how it compares to the likes of Millet's designs and the Torpedo parafeed amp.

Millet amps are meh at best. Sorry just not my sound. Have heard a lot of them and the only ones that soudned remotely good was the 307A and the FET-A.

CTH is a giant slayer, especially with some minor mods like a aftermarket regulator, output resistor choice, coupling capacitor and potentiometer. Of course, the tube you use is going to have a major impact on the sound as it is a mini-stacker in many ways.
