<div>Nelson is also on the DIYaudio.com forum, and is quite helpful in discussions on circuit topology and also on clones of his older designs (Aleph series, but he also did an amp for Adcom and was in Threshold). Apparently, the enclosures are very expensive, and so are the meters. Also, there is quite a bit of manual labour involved as the output devices need to be matched (something he does "in situ" rather than with some kind of measurement device, apparently).</div>
