Very interesting! I really like what I hear so far, so I'm definitely not disappointed by the RCA It sounds very very different from the Redd, which is a good thing, to be sure. The sound is much more harmonically rich--owing to the no feedback topology, I'm sure. It's a very exciting sound! It's kind of like the difference between a 70s Fender and a Vox.emrr said:This has nothing to do with voltages, everything to do with transformers and circuit design.

Doug, do you have a suggestion for an excellent input transformer for the build? I am building two with A-10s on the input and one for a friend with a CM-75101a (which I haven't built yet, and haven't heard yet). I don't mind pulling the UTCs and using them in DI boxes if there might be a better option out there for my stereo pair.
One thing I might like to do with a pair of the BA-2Cs is re-processing stereo stems, and for processing program material. I also imagine them very useful on drums and drum machines, as well, where low end extension and definition is of a particular interest.
