Very nice. I see a lot of top shelf parts in your build. Audio Note Electro's.. Kiwame, TKD, Amstrans AMRG, & looks like some Takman & vishay-dale resistors.
I actually just finished an Ultimate 70 build last week. I've built a couple in the past but this time I did a brand new build as well. Chassis & every part was new. This one I used output transformers from a company I've never used before..Pacific Audio. I had bought them some time early last year when a lot of the regular sellers were out of stock.
I was a little hesitant to order them because the price was pretty cheap..$140 a piece. The transformer makes or breaks the sound. I took a chance, ordered them, within like 3 maybe 4 weeks they wound them & had them delivered.
This amp performs better than the ones that I used original iron. Makes me wonder if the older transformers were a little off. The bass is not as loose & bloated. Better space & depth with my new build. Nice full weighty sound with still the detail & clarity. I am impressed.
It's nice to see other people still building the Ultimate 70. I think it's a very nice amp for not a lot of money to build.
