Just got this thing up and running yesterday. As it burns in, it’s starting the really open up. This is the Diyaudiostore Honey Badger. It’s 150watts per channel class AB. I don’t think it gets enough attention compared to the Pass amps, this is a really good sounding class AB amp when configured with the right parts.

Nice build, the Honey Badger is on my short list, also the Alpha Nirvana and the Wolverine.

I definitely need to build
The Wolverine some day. That one will be a challenge. It has a lot of parts and it will be pricey.

I’m still digging my ELEKIT 8900, it’s all stock except for Audyn copper coupling caps. Rocking with Genalex Gold Lion 300b today. I’m amazed at the dynamics from just 9 watts. Though the speakers are high passed  at around 80hz so the subs are doing a lot of the bottom end.

Try the PSVane Horizon 300b tubes.

I have Horizon in 2a3 and 300b, not sure if they are better or just a little different.

I popped in the Horizon 300b, though l’m not comparing same music just listening to random songs. It seems they are cleaner in the highs, all three pairs I have give excellent sound staging, though I think the Horizon may a bit more impressive in that regard. Possibly more neutral or transparent. They aren’t expensive so that makes them a great option.
