Hello,
Just wanted to share that I have a working Zkit amp! Currently listening to Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here. Listening over some vintage Kenwood LS-403As, but also worked with Klipsch RP-600mII, and even some Dayton Audio BS65 AIRs (has an AMT tweeter.)

For my build I subbed an Antek toroidal input transformer and did all of the Anniversary and Power Supply mods. I'm also running a Phillips ECC88 input tube. I'm running it in an old Dish Receiver chassis.

Other system info:

WIIM Ultra Streamer --> SMSL D-6S DAC
U-Turn Turntable --> Onboard Pluto Phono --> Ortofon 05E

--> Schiit Saga2 Pre-Amplifier --> Decware ZKit1 --> Kenwood LS403As  
                                         --> RSL Speed Woofer 10S MKII

That’s gorgeous and I love both the wood faceplate and the fact it was repurposed from a dish receiver.

Welcome. The zkit was my first introduction to the Decware sound and have built many since. Prepare for your musical tastes to change.

I’d love to hear more about the toroidal transformer as the circuit breaks in.

I really like the way you carefully laid out the innards, and that wood front panel is BEAUTIFUL!

I'd say that Wynton Marsalis album should showcase the amp really well!

Thanks for the info on the wood panel. You did a great job--it looks killer.
