381.0. "Headphones Amplifier Kit" by AKOCOA::HADNEY () Thu Nov 05 1992 16:32

    Subject: Class A Headphone Amp                                       

    I have received from John Linsley Hood, of Gramophone magazine, his 
    technical description of a simple class A headphones amplifier, which 
    was briefly described in the October issue.  He states the following:
    
    "I anticipate that Hart Electronic Kits, Ltd., of Penylan Mill, 
    Oswestry, Shropshire, SY10 9AF, will also make a kit of parts for this 
    unit available in due course.  If they do, it will make the task of a 
    would-be constructor very much simpler."  
    
    If anyone is familiar with Hart Electronic Kits, please provide any  
    commentary you feel appropriate regarding quality, etc.  And further, 
    should you be nearby Hart, and inclined to call, perhaps you could 
    determine whether this kit is available, and at what cost, and post the 
    info in this note.  I would greatly appreciate anyone's assistance in 
    this regard.

    Hart make good kits, not the absolute high-end hi-fi, they baulk at
    using esoteric components, they use "sensible" ones.  The kits are
    designed for ease of build.  They do produce the headphone amp, it is
    part of a complete preamp, but the headphone board only can be
    purchased.  The power supplty is a remote module, so that would have a
    case, you would need a case for the headphone amp.
    
    Read my note on Hart's power amp from around year ago.  For those who
    read my review in HFN/RR on the amps, there's a review of the Hart
    phono repamp coming soon.
