The real high end models may be still based on the original models and very good, I do not know as I have not examined them. I feel that the Audio Note name it is the only thing that has some relation with its past. The PSU will be hybrid: silicon rectifiers in conjunction with a single 6SJ3 damper diode to ensure the best of both worlds. I still have to build it and there will be be tweeks to be done but I am comfortable with the design to-date. It has the advantage of long life - plenty of 50 year ol McIntosh 220 or MA230 are still around with the orginal output tubes. Instead I have been working on a SE design with the 7868 (posted elsewhere) which according to some people is at least on par with the 300B except more linear in SE mode. I subsequently had some thoughts of building a clone of the P1 SE and in the end I decided against it. The amplifier has now found another home. The Audio Note kit 4 is based on the Sansui HF-V6K / HF-V60 from 1955 / 1956. I did build a clone of the Audio Note kit 4 (identical cloned PCB), used Hashimoto OPT and still had to make several adjustmens to make it barely acceptable. Later designs were not as good - often based on diesigns from others. The original Audio Note from Japan was rather good. “Potentially” means that you need to replace cathode resistors and I am highly recommending using Miflex KPCU-01 600VDC instead provided Audio Note.Īt the end, I am satisfied with amplifier, but not sure that I will buy something else at It is deadly quiet (of course) and, potentially, has the magic inside. I have asked him again several times and aging Brian always said “yes” without consequences.Īnyway, the amplifier is good. Brian said “yes” and forgot immediately as before. Remember about missed parts, I ask Brian Smith to send me two bare PCBs instead forgotten component. Good, as I said I spend two weeks to debug to find leaking capacitor, after that the PCB starts to look not attractive. While debugging I found that cathode resistors KAL50 by Stackpole has inductive winding… Have no idea, what the reason was behind to chosen them for the “simply the ultimate E元4 Amplifier” as says advertising, but replacement by the Riedon 50W UALN the sound improvement was huge. One capacitor from the kit was defect, it starts to leak after 20 minutes of work and I lost about two weeks to find it. I inform the ANK about missed parts and Brian Smith promised to me to send full matched set of E元4 and speaker posts… Promised and forgot immediately. Never mind, after briefly inventory I realize that two speaker posts and two E元4 simply not in. That is actually ok for a cheap kit, but when the regular price is about $3500, I am expecting a bit more respect to content. First I was a bit negative surprised that all components was putted unsorted together (resistors, capacitors, sockets) in one plastic bag. The kit has arrived me (after month of waiting) in three heavy well-packed boxes from that point my journey has begun. I want to share my experience for the ANK E元4 Artiste Triple C-Core Monoblock, see the link ANK Audiokits - E元4 Triple C-Core Pentode Monoblocks Tube Amplifier ![]()
