An initial run of 25 boards are on order, and it looks like 6L6 (an awesome builder) is going to do an illustrated guide like he always does. If you read on the thread, they discuss the sonics of the F6 which Ron has so kindly given us a video review of. Fun times for the diyer:

6L6 is a fellow Denverite (yet another reason why Denver is the best place to live in the US :D ).  He actually was instrumental in my 2 F5 builds and my First Watt BA-3 build.  In fact, some of the pics of my amps are in his build guides :lol:  Great guy and he's also built a prototype First Watt Headphone amp.  Hmm, maybe I should post a separate thread on that....

Are you going to build a stereo version or mono?
