Hi All,
Can someone recommend a non PASS LABS class A amp kit for a noob? I am looking for a class A to improve the sound quality, I heard PASS LABS is as good as it gets - however, sourcing the parts for these designs is proving to be quite a challenge for a noob like me.
I am looking to improve on the sound quality of my LM3875 amp.
Can someone recommend me a CLASS A kit (complete kit) that sounds better than the above?

Check here in the "swap meet" for built-up Pass amps for sale. They turn up from time to time.
Why bother with a kit when this JLH is available fully built for a bargain price?

Wow, that looks good for $100, but how much is the shipping?
It depends where you live - to me under $6 Quite likely it'll come close to doubling the price for USA.
Aliexpress has various kits of this design, mostly looking quite affordable - http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=63701&initiative_id=AS_20150822173644&SearchText=jlh+1969
Then again, if you can live with 'Nobsound' on your fascia, there's this variant - http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-...9-Gold-Pure-Class-A-finished/32358606941.html

This one is $45 for the same thing. Why does it vary so much?

I think the $45 one is chassis only. However there is a picture showing it populated with the amp, so it is a little misleading.This one is $45 for the same thing. Why does it vary so much?

The JLH is a good amplifier but it lacks the bass control of a bigger Pass amp.
I've got a complete Pass F5 clone here. I'd consider selling it as I don't use it. It needs more capacitors in the DC power supply.
It is complete, tested and working, there is just a small amount of PSU hum due to inadequate PSU capacitance.
I'd be looking around £200, just to cover the cost of the components, heatsinks, transformer and chassis for example.
