I used to like soft sounding amplifiers. Now, I really like the realism the beast puts on the table with a very clear portrait. The beast changed something in me. I listened to it 3 and a half hour with no interruption. Lots of clear detail but nothing harsh and no headache. Additionally, when I turn out the lights, I feel like I'm in a concert hall. I would change some parts I used in the prototype. After listening and now, I'm really really in doubt.

Nice one Ozan.
I love mine as well, it's an amazingly detailed amplifier with a deep (but balanced bass) beautiful detailed mids and clear airy extended highs.
Mine build has a 3 position feedback switch that selects between: Bruce's FB, Zero feedback and a point roughly halfway between these two.
I do like the zero feedback and you describe it well above - but have found once I past the "DIY honeymoon period" that the zero feedback can get a bit fatiguing.
Particularly with heavy complex music. On solo vocal or solo instruments zero feedback sounds great.
I have well damped speakers, so have settled on the mid point for now.
@ TIJ-NIKI the design does work with KT150s and this has been discussed earlier. My CCS sensing resistor (bias) adjustment allows for 120 - 160ma
I can try them one day - but at double the cost of a KT120 for probably negligible sonic gain ) I cant justify it (they do look awesome though.
