Decware Z Kit build (assembled and fully functioning), based off of their famous Zen Triode SE84 tube amp. Same circuit, except this is solid state rectified and PCB based, as opposed to tube rectified and point to point wired.  This is a very high quality PCB, if you wanted to try different "boutique" capacitors or different output transformers, you could try different kinds without worrying about damaging the PCB from desoldering and re-soldering, especially if you’re good with an iron.  2.3 watts per channel.  3 Tubes.

This amp sounds absolutely stunning through a good set of high efficiency speakers (Please be aware of the speaker needs for this amp, high efficiency is ideal).  The amp is very quiet, through the 94db Klipsch Forte speakers, I can hear the faintest hum with my ear to the speaker, from 3 feet away I hear nothing. It was built using an Edcore power transformer (XPWR-107-120), and Musical Power Supplies HIFI output transformers (OT10SE-HF-7K). The 4 ohm taps on the output transformers were utilized, the option of using the 8 ohm taps are still available, but the amp seems to sound better through the 4 ohm taps, to my ears. The tubes are NOS Russian 6P15P-EV output tubes, and a NOS Russian 6N1P-EV driver tube, they have probably 50 hours total use on them so far.  One can use EL84 output tubes without any modification or worry, as well as a 6922 driver tube.  All parts were new, or NOS, at time of build (Jan 2026), Audyn and Solen caps are highlights, all other parts are top drawer from reputable and dedicated electronics-focused sellers.  All voltages fell within spec on first start-up.  The acrylic cover is there to protect against the high voltages (lethal voltages) that are exposed when it is not there. 

Local pickup is preferred so that one can hear just how good this sounds, but this amp can be shipped, and will be packed well and shipped promptly. Please don't hesitate with any questions.
