    I built two of these ZKIT4 (decware.com) to use as a balanced output stage for my version of 'Gumbreya'. It uses two tube regulated power supplies as recommended on the linked page.

    Is this plugged into the Gungnir output? Or is the Gungnir modded to bypass the internal output stage and connect directly to this tube stage?

    I connected Cardas cable from the the chip outputs (easy because there are solder holes in the chips' output traces) to a pair of XLR jacks I added to the back.
