Tube amp kits
Hello all
I've been looking Hi and low for a few sites that sell amp kits other than low powered SE. Any one have some leads to 50 plus watt amp kits. Noth America would be nice, but I'm open to any good, well know suppliers. Thank you Mike Mueller |

I went through the portal already. Many broken links. 95% of the kits available are flea powered SE. Some one out there must be designing and selling el34 or kt88 based amps that do not cost more than already made amps. I can buy PrimaLuna Prolouge six's or seven mono amps for less than most kits I have seen. I do not have the time to start from scratch. Thank you again Mike Mueller |

Thank you again Mike Mueller I'm sorry, I didn't check the links on the portal myself. Apparently, many small companies didn't survive selling tube kits. Here are some more Google hits, but the prices are not that much lower than for ready made components. You'll have to add shipping as well. http://www.fsaudioweb.com/listen/stoetkit.html http://www.electronics123.com/s.nl/i...=8&category=33 http://www.triode-systems.com/module...index.php?id=2 http://www.escience.ca/hobby/RENDER/...036/11325.html There's a guy here named Keith, who imported amplifiers from China himself (or so it seemed to me), maybe he can help you out? He posts from UKRA, so I took the liberty to cross-post this message to that newsgroup as well. Sorry guys, but this *is* audio-related...... :-) -- "Due knot trussed yore spell chequer two fined awl miss steaks." |

Scratchbuilding does not take huge amounts of time if you know what you are doing. And if you don't you need to learn anyway. If you have time for a hobby you have time to build. Nice Bret Going through previous posts on this same subject, the advice is the same. Buy a kit that you can learn with. Than go for scratch building. It takes twice as long to do scratch that kit building. How I approach this hobby is my business. If I choose to enjoy it by building kits, who cares. Why snap at someone who wants to do it differently than you approve of. Mine was an innocent posting asking for some simple help from a learned group. I was not interested in a critique or scolding for wanting to go a certain route. Mike Mueller |

Thank you to all that helped. Some good links Thank you Mike Mueller I must say, after you reported those dead links on tubeworld, I started searching for good quality PP kits with EL34s or KT88s or the like. It seems there are few, and they can be divided in cheap-ass Chinese stuff of unknown quality, or super-duper boutique upper class stuff. Nothing worth noting inbetween, or it should be the KT88 kit that Al Marcy mentioned. Strange. I hope you succeed in your quest for a decent kit. Another approach can be to buy the cheapest complete Chinese amp that you like, and to upgrade it from there by replacing output transformers, capacitors etc. That way, you'd start out with a working "something", but still can doa little yourself to improve it. The good thing: you'll probabky buy a complete amp at the price of a decent chassis and power transformer, the rest is optional and a bonus. The bad thing: in the end, it can still cost you a lot of money...... -- "Due knot trussed yore spell chequer two fined awl miss steaks." |

The PrimaLuna line is top build quality and finish is excellent. Price from Upscale Audio is very resonable for this quality of amp. 2 mono kt88's are only 2400.00 I was hopping to spend 50 to 75% of that to find a kit. I guess there is nor such thing out there Thanks Again Mike Mueller |
