At this price point, it's a great deal, but make sure you're up to the project...
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this kit as an entry into the world of DIY tube audio gear and it was totally worth the investment of time and money. It took me a couple weeks of planning and slow, steady work to complete it and it sounds REALLY good for the price point. It's _almost_ dead silent and provides more than enough power to drive small bookshelf speakers (Klipsch) to deafening volume.
BUT...
Caveat Emptor:
- This is a kit, which you have to assemble yourself
- The only instructions that come with it is a single piece of paper with the schematics - in Chinese - be sure that you understand the basics of reading schematics and have at least rudimentary skill with a soldering iron
- Because of the lack of build / construction documentation, you'll likely want to search the internet for helps
- The amp uses potentially lethal voltages - make sure that you know what you're doing before attempting this
If you take your time and do some internet searches, you'll find a couple obscure web pages and YouTube videos posted by people who have completed the project. These were very helpful. I'm not sure that I could have assembled it without these aids.
The amazing this was that the very first time I powered it up and tested it, it worked flawlessly. No hum. No smoke. No weird noises. Just sweet music!
Oh... one of the web pages included some modifications including a switch from speaker output to headphone output (you have to add the headphone jack yourself) and a switch from triode mode to ultralinear for those that like to experiment.
All in all, it was a good experience that definitely bolstered my confidence and I can recommend this with the above qualifications.
Good luck!
