Well it's not an encouraging reply, but there could be some truth in what you say.

This looks like a convenient way for a beginner such as myself to build this amp because it has all the parts and at an affordable price. However, I have my worries about whether the whole thing will work or sound right etc, this is the problem with diy. I just want a cheap easy amp. It doesn't have to be the best. I just want something decent, because right now, I have no amplifier and no music.

Isn't there are Group Buy of F5.
Have a look in the Group Buy forum.

They may have some good offer there, with PCB boards + material
without fear of get bad stuff.

Forgetting IP and trademark infringements for a moment, I wouldn't buy a parts kit with the mosfets shipped in a plastic bag!

Ditto!! Additionally, supporting these jokers making a buck off someone else's IP is equally as bad.

Personally I will wait until Nelson puts out a F5 board or a kit, its not like the music is going away any time soon.

but its not as bad as you make out is it?

The whole idea of Nelson giving out the circuit diagrams is to get people building amps. Kits make it more easier for me. I think he should obtain permission for selling them but its not that bad.

is there any other options for a cheap good amp?
