Headphone Amp Kit!

[TOFFEEMAN1878]

I'm Thinking of buying this kit http://www.diy-audio-kits.com/kits/novo-headphone-amplifier.htm Anyone have any experience of this kit? I intend to use with 72/Hi Cap/140 /Nackamichi SP7 Headphones!

I don't know, but its a Graham Slee project and his phono stage that I use is excellent.

Thinking about this myself.

Have a look at this forum for some discussion on the kit (about
half way down the page).

Thanks for that,Unless that thread was written by Graham Slee I'll be buying that kit, based on that it's a steal at £147.77 including postage.........Jim

Does anyone know if this kit is appropriate for some 600 ohm Beyerdynamics DT990 cans? Someone on the thread mentioned above said the Novo worked great for low Z cans but said nada about high Z.

Just below Amp Specs
Rated Output: 150mW RMS (40mW RMS into 600 Ohms) I think this what you mean?

Thanks, should've seen that. The DT990s are rated for up to 100mW (http://shop.beyerdynamic-usa.com/headphones/premium-line-headphones/dt-990-premium-600.html). Not sure if the 40mW will be enough, but this Graham Slee kit looks terrific.
