Whoa, that entire kit with chassis is listed for $400US shipped.... What am I missing here, is this some sort of scam?

My friend has built this kit. Quality is quite good. We are in Hong kong

pabbi1 · 21st August 2007, 06:36 PM

Nate has built one - spoke highly of the quality, but not the documentation / guidance. Looks like a Christmas present to (and most likely from) me.

el_mariachi · 21st August 2007, 08:25 PM

So is there some previous threads where i can read about this kit?

Yes, i read the instructions. I'm asking for idividual experiences.
Among other things there are no assembly-instructions for the Lighting board

Hi,

I built one. By lighting board I take it you mean the front panel. Apart for QC problem with the led unit (I had to get a new one) the assembly is not very difficult. You don't really need to know chinese to build it, just download all the pictures from these links:

http://www.hifidiy.net/jhwz/200706/t20070626_991.htm
http://www.hifidiy.net/jhwz/200706/t20070626_990.htm
http://www.hifidiy.net/jhwz/200706/t20070626_989.htm

The straw is a bit of a joke. Anyway, we got the kit from a group buy and for about US$300 we have the deluxe kit. It has a VAM1202 unit on a hefty platter, with dale resistors and muse caps throughout. The remote is standard RC5. The sound via 8412+1865 nos dac is detail and tight. I am happy with it. It is value for money on this side of the pacific.

Cheers,
KK
