Hi RGA,

Happy new year!

I have some comments not directly addressed to you but in general to those for whom kit building might look somewhat scary/expensive/daunting adventure.

I dont think you need to have any background in electronics (other than maybe the Ohm's law :-)

To acquire the soldering skills you may do some very inexpensive small Velleman kits (Google "Velleman kits").

I did the Kit1 after several Velleman kits, and went on to do the DAC2.1 and MM phono stage. I consider the Kit1 build process as the best adventure I have ever gone through. Just make sure you read the manuals. The people from the AN Kits forum and Brian do wonders when you need help. Ironically, the Velleman kits are more difficult as they are tiny.

The only danger is kit building is very highly addictive.

Regards, Zuheyr

But the amps and Dacs I don't see why these would be any different than factory models. - limono 10:40:24 01/04/08 (7)
