also ... DIY clone of Naim MC phonostage ("NoName")
also ... DIY TD1543 non-oversampling DAC, unfinished, already sounding very nice
also ... DIY 20W class A MOSFET amp, based on Hawk A18. Too weak for the ESL-63s, but fabulous with the ESL-57s.
also ... long-term projects: development of 3 different top-class phonostages, one opamp-based, the other two JFET/opamp hybrids. Presently deeply investigating voltage regulator design.
cables yes, here too
