There's a guy here named Keith, who imported amplifiers from China
himself (or so it seemed to me), maybe he can help you out?

He posts from UKRA, so I took the liberty to cross-post this message
to that newsgroup as well.
Sorry guys, but this *is* audio-related...... :-)

Sorry Keith, I'd better explain:

The OP is looking for a tube kit to build, but not a SET.


OK.



I seemed to recall that you ordered some kits directly from China, and
might be able to help him with it.

Sorry if I got things mixed up..................


Right. You are a little offbeam here - I didn't buy *kits* from China, I
bought ready-made SET amps.

The price of these amps is way less than even the price of components to
build similar amps and a lot less than the price of a commercial 'amp kit'.
Of course, you only get what you pay for and there almost certainly will be
some liklihood of component failure at some stage, but there's no doubting
they are incredible value for money if you can keep 'em fettled.

Assuming you are Stateside, point the OP to Angela's:

- I'm sure that they could steer him in the right direction. Personally I
like the look of the SE triode-strapped EL34 amp they feature, if he doesn't
want to go for a proper SET:

Or is he looking for more power....???
