The gar918 DOA Full Kit Bundle is a full and complete parts kit with everything required to complete the gar918 Discrete Operational Amplifier build. This board has been created by Gary Barnett of Barnett Industries. This DOA is a nine transistor amplifier modeled after the legendary JE-918 which was designed by Deane Jensen. The JE-918 was the predecessor to the JE-990. Sonically speaking, Gary describes these as a little less mid forward than a 2520 while making the low mids more "open". Describing sonics can be very difficult but I think folks will find these noticeably different than our other offerings while still being very useful complimentary tools. Some of the applications the gar918 DOA can be used for: Microphone Preamplifiers Line or Booster Amplifiers Lossless Combining Amplifiers Balanced Transformerless Amplifiers Equalizers and Compressors Additional features and specs: Industry standard 2520 footprint for plug-in or PC mount connections Low noise, high power output Low distortion Minimum load impedance is 75 ohms for full output voltage Power supply voltage is bi-polar +/- 12 VDC to +/- 20 VDC Includes all top quality parts and components It should be noted that all 9 transistors are currently in production and easily obtainable ***Please note: This item is a complete parts kit and PCB bundle. Full and complete assembly is required. This kit is not for the beginner. Good assembly and solder skills are a must!
