Here’s the problem though..and I know you are a very good tech and know your stuff…
Why is it that a SLO clone with ‘supposed’ hi fi DeYoung clones sound so far off the original? I’ve played one that had specific clones (supposedly) of the DeYoungs and it sounded very different to me. He used the same components in the circuit as well.
No, they weren’t the O netics transformers which are not the same spec(according to the builder)
The amp sounded good, but more like an HR100 than the SLO. Bland sounding
I can't speak for others. My last SLO build sounded "better" and tighter. I think the stock circuit could use more filtering. But, its all a matter of preference. Some have to have the exact silkscreened transformers and labels on their amp. That's fine, go for it. I know the SLO circuit very well. I also like what Suhr has done with the SE 100. Also better than the SLO to my ears and my feel.
Here is the link to my last build:

Don't ask me to build you one. I'm not building anything for the next 6mo's at least.
