I'm not judging, that's in human nature
heck, I'm always late ........ at least 7 amps, 4 preamps, 5 speakers, 3 motorbikes
not even counting things Boss want me to do in house and around

You best stop posting and get to work, the most important spec after all is the WAF.
I wonder which ones are the best sellers?
And are we talking boards vs full kits?
I suspect the full kits (ACA, Korg B1, etc.) that have options to get chassis, boards, and "stuffings" have the highest sales numbers & completion rates. I heard an ACA sales number that blew my mind, but I'll call it a rumor at best.
On the other hand, some PCB-only offerings of long-running classics like the Aleph J, F5, etc might have some really high sales numbers, too.
I was told by a wise forum member to be THRILLED if 25% of the Aleph Classic kits I've shipped get built. My gut feeling tells me the number is higher than 25%, but who can say.
Much like ZM, I'm behind on several preamp projects, a DAC, tube phono project, amp repairs for friends, and a speaker project. I told myself I'm taking an amp building break in 2024, let see how long that lasts.

That would be a travesty, although there are probably more than a few kits that get purchased just to acquire the various FETs
Hi my name is .... and I have a problem HahahahI told myself I'm taking an amp building break in 2024, let see how long that lasts.
I only collect pcb's / kits / lottery amps / etc... I mean once you have Zen Mod's SissySIT pleasure distortion machine, obviously nothing else needs to be built... 
j/k, I'll get to something different eventually..

I bet some people want to stash away a few for future plans/needs. They are unique and have collector value too.

I totally left both Audio and Internet in 2015 ........... see where that lead me ........
I have built 100% of all rhthatcher Classic Aleph kits I have ordered.
I am 150% thrilled with every single aspect.
Note to those that have not built theirs. I'll take 'em!!
🙂
70,000 Aleph-X Boards were sold... 25 fully functioning amps were built 
..
i built 1 channel... kinda. it worked!

WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) is a dimensionless number ranging from zero to one. This is applied to a piece of audio equipment. If it's near zero, you are not getting that into the house, period-no ifs, ands or buts. If it's close to one, they you might get it into the house if it's not sited in a conspicuous location. Since I'm single, I gits to have any old tube amp or speaker anywhere I want it.

Since your single you can have Milo Manara or Alberto Vargas prints in your listening room too. Maybe a Zap comics section on your record shelf as well.😉 I am married and haven chosen wisely, I can have it all.
