He specifically asked for it, since he done an "all transistor" design he felt
he was cheating out. Just see it as an excuse to learn something new. It's DIY
for heavens sake, so he get's to decide how his designs looks and which border
requirements he has. If he would have asked for an all-tube solution that
would have been the topic, right?

Cheers,
