Tube Amp Kits does anyone still offer.


I was wondering if anyone has had any experience putting together a Tube Amp Kit. I have built my own regulated variable power supply with a schematic that I downloaded off the internet, I bought all of the parts at a local Radio Shack.The Store manager said that he had never seen anyone build something with parts from his store,asked me to bring it in when I was done. I did about 2 weeks later, he was amazed, and another customer there at that time offered to buy it. I have never had any schooling,all self taught, the project was a blast,How much more difficult could it be to assemble a complete kit that I don't even have to figure up the math on to decide what size caps & resistors to buy.If anyone out there knows if there are any companys still offering good hi quality kits I might consider that route.Thanks, Curt.

Glass Audio, P.O. Box 878 Peterborough, NH. 03457 (FAX 603-924-9467), offers a bi monthly publication that has a "do it yourself" project in every issue!! In addition, (I just looked, since you ask) and saw ad's for amplifier kits for the following manufacturers: (1) Welborne Labs @ (303) 470-6585, (2) Audio Electronic Supply @ (919) 460-6461 (3) Parts Connection @ (905) 829-5858 (4) Atma-Sphere @ (651) 690-2246 (5)Sun Audio @ (503) 644-6713, (6)Velleman @ (817) 284-7785. I am certain that there are others beyond these six, you could subscribe to Glass Audio and look for additional, or perhaps other Audiogon members can add to this list. Also, please note, that I am not suggesting that any of these kits are what you want or need, it is just a list to let you know that there are indeed options. Lots of luck on your quest for a amplifier kit!
