heathkit 151

Wondering if anybody has ever heard a Sam Kim restored version of one of these? Have been on a new amp search for a while and an amp from Sam Kim seems to be an interesting option. Actually if anybody has ANY info on an amp done by Mr Kim would love to hear about it. Seems a little Steep price wise, but they sure do a lot of work, basically a new amp. Thanks

i own the Heathkit 151 completely rebuilt in triode by Sam Kim, asnd it just sings and rocks! Best amp I've ever owned (including Don Garber's terrific SET Fi 2a3 monolocks). It is a little pricey, but they're willin to dicker o the price a little bit. If you love EL84, THIS is the amp to get... forget manley stingray,etc.

Let me know if you have any other questions...

I own one by Sam Kim and he completely rebuilds the amp using only the chassis and transformers.  Mr Kim spends 80 - 100 hrs rebuilding the amp and then dpends another 30 - 40 hrs fine tuning the amp.  Match it with the right speakers and you are done.
