Kits - How to Get Started


Hi,
I want to learn how to build a high-end tube amplifier kit, but have zero experience. Before I buy an expensive kit, I thought it would be a good idea to buy a learning kit. I tried the web and it seems I either find doorbell kits or kits that assume you have soldering experience.

Can anybody recommend a kit appropriate for somebody who is reasonably intelligent (big assumption on my part, I know), but who has no soldering experience and whose long range goal is to build a high-end amplifier kit? I have access to a temperature controlled soldering tool.

The more specific you could be, the more it will help. Thanks in advance.

before you go for expensive tube kits you should check on velleman ones that would cost you in the $50 range.

they utilise simple preamps, balanced line converters, phono boards, input selectors, remote volume pots with the descent sound quality.
