I like the MPA, at least in terms of a preamp design. I won't go into all the technical details as to why I like it, and I can't speak for build quality. I've got a nice modification for it that I'm going to be putting up on my website soon, if you're interested in that.

The cool thing with the ...

Typically, MOSFET power amps are pretty good.

How about a schematic? We could surely assist you better...

Hey--
Don't let anyone fool you. There are actually good, inexpensive transformers available.
You don't say what ratio you want, but Edcor and OEP are both cost-efficient audio transformers. Edcor is made in the US, and EOP is made in the UK. OEP used to make trafo's for some of the Neve ...

A few questions:
1)Why do you say that the detect circuit is working? Do you get an LED readout but no signal passed? Do you get an LED readout whether signal is present or not?
2)Does it have a DBX/THAT2252 as a detector IC?

If so, check for the presence of a DC control voltage on pin 7--I ...

As much as I hate arguing over this subject, I feel like this needs to be answered. Your post, capnreverb, really boils down to nothing more than ad hominum arguments, inductive logic, and senseless rants. You seem
so interested in pointing the finger and making villifying accusations about ...
