J. N. Stills 70 watt integrated amp

[kheper]

The ST-70 is "audiophile" enough for me. There are tons of mods for it, new kits and old copies floating around. If you put a pot in it, you will not need a pre-amp with line-level sources. Klipsch speakers (used Heresy and Fortes) sound good with it. Maybe $1,200 to start. Save up for a preamp.

"It will be a cold day in hell before I drop twelvehundred bucks on a set of speakers. Those Heresies were built by men, a man can build them,"

The $1,200 was for the system: ST-70 and speakers.

Uhhhh I knew that...it must have been the pot.
People do pay crazy money for those klipsch horns though, I guess I was thinking Lascallas. Speakers the size of ovens, I'm actually on board with that.

Thanks,

Howdy folks, just tieing up loose ends.

I went ahead and built the amp, it was fun and scary. I had quite a bit of help too. I took a couple wrong turns on the schematic.






It came out pretty good for my first effort at building my own equipment. As a bonus it even works.

Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers,
Guy
