Aric has been working on a Super 300B for me..
Here is a picture of the amp under it's first hours of burn-in..

It was pretty expensive, and I'm expecting quite a beautiful sounding amp..

Can I get some of your guys thoughts on it..

Wow, looks amazing. Is the dial a negative feedback adjustment? What speakers are you using? Love the walnut case. Can the vu meters be turned off or dimmed during operation? Enjoy!

[Chris Adams]

That looks fantastic!

Aric makes beautiful looking and sounding equipment. I have a pair of Super KT Push Pull monoblocks that I purchased from him this past summer. He is now making me a Mother Lode ll preamp.

looks wonderful and you used a great attenuator! it's gonna sound marvelous! duelund coup caps?

Looks great,  some questions.
The wiring are Solid or stranded?
What brand are the transformers?

I would suggest Teflon sockets.

Aric was easy to talk to, and very accommodating..
Spent quite a bit of his time talking with me on numerous phone calls, discussing my system and my listening preferences..

I had a few request, and asked for a couple upgrades..

(1) Reconfigure both chassis’s for the long side to face forward..
(2) Leave LED lights off (meters)
(3) Upgrade the Capacitors , We agreed on Duelund CAST-PIO Tinned Copper Foil
(4) Cardas - Binding Post and RCAs
(5) Upgrade to Khozmo stepped
(6) Emission Labs 300B XLR

I have a set of Tekton Double Impact SE speakers..

^ certainly keep us posted. Love to learn how it compares to the zen mystery

I would absolutely ask him to place a headphone jack.  No resistors or transformers need to be added because recommended 'phones would be power-hungry planar headphones (Abyss, Audeze, Hifiman, etc) which sound fantastic straight off of speaker output. 

My Elekit 300B does have a headphone jack with resistors in series, but planar headphones sound much better off its speaker taps than the headphone jack, so all that's needed is to put a headphone jack somewhere and just solder up wires straight to the output transformers.  If desired, a toggle to select between speakers and headphones can be installed

Very nice love the walnut cases! 
I hope it gives you many hours of pleasurable listening 

A copula' questions...1) Looks like a dual mono design with separate power supply...What are the tubes (rectifier, driver, etc...) used respectively?
                                  2) Are those interstage transformers on the amp? Brand? 

Run 'er in for a few hundred hours and please report back on your findings.

Beautiful! I'll be very interested in your review. I have a push pull amp built by Aric that I love. He's great to work with,I agree.
