Custom amplifier and preamp designs are what we specialize in. We also design small bookshelf (widerange and 2-way) speaker systems. We have proven time again at audio festivals that there is more to great audio than meteor shattering levels of power or how many metres of excursion your subwoofer has.

An audio system is like a well fitting suit, you shine best when the pieces match or have been tailored to your needs.

Don't hesitate to contact us regarding a custom build. Tube audio is more affordable than you may think!

Custom Builds We Have Done

· Borealis-300PH - A 300B based preamplifier with phono stage. See it!

· 845 - The largest SET for power (and size!) we have made so far. See it!

· Borealis - A preamplifier for refined tastes... errr... ears. See it!

· Mach2-A3 - A 2A3 based amplifier that's made for rolling tubes. Featuring a mu-stage driver. See it!

· Dynaco PAS-K Mod/Rebuild - The old Dynaco PAS gets new life with new boards and tweaks! More about this on my personal project blog.

· MooseFET - Our first solid state release. A single MOSFET with the sonics and FFT spectra of a triode! More about this on my personal project blog.

· DynaMutt-II - We took DynaMutt to a whole new level by making it a local feedback anode follower with SRPP phase inverter and eliminating the gNFB. This is a pure point-to-point modification as there isn't enough real estate on the driver PCB to make a PCB version. Currently in use as a reference amp at Planet10-HiFi. No specific project page for this mod, but here's the circuit schematic.

· DynaMutt - Began as a ST-70 restoration, but why stop there? Driver PCB's available! More about this on my personal project blog.

· Modified White Cathode Follower Line Buffer - We just can't leave anything alone. Is there a way the White-CF could be improved? We thought so and we did it. No project page, but here's the schematic.

· Chinook (a.k.a. "Baby Amp") - a SET spud stereo power amp based on the 6FD7.

· "PB" - a 6SN7 based stereo linestage.
