    All this tube amp talk got me itching to build another Cathode Follower. I just might end up using both to bi-amp the 604s.

    I just went through the BOM and ordered everything. As usual the output transformers were the most expensive components. All tolled including shipping came to $519. That's dirt cheap for a 3W Pure Class A SE amp, let alone in a cathode follower configuration.

    Here's the BOM:

    I got some NOS Sylvanias for the drive tubes and I'll try the TungSol reissues for the power tubes.

    The power transformer is this http://www.antekinc.com/details.php?p=673 It's more like the one that originally came with the kit and more quiet than the laminated Hammond for DIYers on the BOM...and 1/3 the price!
