The time has come… Saturday, 6 July 2008… The Aikido Blind Test session at Tubelover, South Jakarta, Indonesia. Total we have 11 contenders today. All with John Broskie Aikido Pre-Amplifier design. Some use the original PCB ordered from here and some prefer their own point-to-point design. Various tubes are here, small 9 pin tubes, Octal, and also the miniature like 6111WA and 6021.

Here is some snapshot from the event.

We use the Jadis Defy 7 Push Pull Power Amplifier rated around 100 Watts RMS (twelve 6550 tubes). The speaker is Tannoy Stirling with Fostex Super Tweeter. The CD Player is Audio Research CD3 MkII.
