I've been the minimalist route for amp design, and the problem is that
it doesn't stay that way. You always end up thinking "if I just do
this, it will work SO much better" and by the time you are done, you
have put in all the buffered current mirrors etc that really make it
work. And in the end, why not? The bits cost bugger all.

The cost is not really a factor. The idea was to design and build the
SS equivalent of Andre's simple SET amplifier, so that those
interested could build both for listening comparison.
