SK25/SK99
The SK25 and SK99 are discrete Op-Amps which are pin compatible with the API* 2520. They are low noise, high performance DOA's specially developed for audio applications.
The SK25 will give its best noise performances with high impedance sources like high ratio input transformers (1:4 and above).
The SK99 will give its best noise performance with low impedance source, like low ratio input transformers (1:1 to 1:5) or transformerless input.
The switch from SK25 to SK99 is done changing by 3 resistors value. The SK2599 kit allows you to build any one of them.
Highlights
- Pin compatible with API 2520 and “99” DOA's
- 100% Class A with RL ≥ 600 Ω
- Wide frequency range
- Low noise, high speed, high gain
- Very good stability
- Wide supply voltage range from +/-15V to +/-24V
- Rich quiescent current
- Short circuit protected output
- Available assembled or as a full kit (everything included)
What's in the kit?
Absolutely everything!
You bring the solder (use good quality solder, 1mm diameter max) and the Lunchbox.
Difficulty level
The SK2599 kit is not a kit for beginners because of the high density of components. It is recommended to people with some soldering experience.

Good Sound/Easy Build
For now I have built 4 of them. Every time it gets a bit faster. I really love the sound of them. They are a little bit more mid-dy & lofi when compared to 99ers.

Vraiment compétent ce DOA!
Je l'utilise en application HI-Fi. Ce truc en reproduction audio est un vrai bijoux! Un son super naturel et agréable. Les mesures FFT le confirme! Bravo pour ce superbe produit!!
