Hello,
I recently found this rather inexpensive kit on the internet. Using their parts it appears it could be built for around $400 and some change. I was wondering if anybody had any experience with this circuit or kit. I was thinking of point to point cloning it mostly b/c I have many of the parts on hand. I would love to have a comment from someone who has actually hearn this amp.
Thanks,
Jeff

Quick correction....the total using their parts (amp module/PCB, OPTs, Power trafo, and choke) ordered from the website altogether totals right at $330. This includes all of the tubes too. All that appears to be required to build it is a chassis, wire, and RCA, Pot, Binders, etc....I roughly estimated about $100 more for the additional stuff if kept to reasonably priced midrange quality parts.
I do have a hard time believing their $60 per pair of 10W SE OPTs will sound very good.
Jeff
