Hello,
I am looking forward to start in the tube world by building an amp kit. The most important point it that money is not a concern at all. I am looking to build one of the best available amp kits out there.
My intention is not to "first build something cheap and bad, then go with the expensive high-end". It may be the first and only one tube amp I build. I won't get into the "tube world", I just want to try a high-end tube amp. My world is solid state.
It is important that all the neccessary parts and assembly instructions are included in the kit. It would be nice if it were up to 50wpc of power, but around 10wpc would suffice.
I need the supplier to be able to deliver to Europe. I have had a look at Bottlehead, DIY Hifi supply, and Audionote, and they fit my requirements (high end designs, all components/instructions included...) so I would like to know any others shops like that.
Thanks!
Best regards

This kit should get you the power you are looking for:
Atma-Sphere music systems, inc. Blog Archive M-60 kit!

This one? Are them DIY kits?
SUN AUDIO :: STARTSEITE :: AYRE :: JBL :: LEXICON :: MARK LEVINSON :: ORACLE :: REVEL :: THIEL ::
Thanks!
Look like a pretty good option, maybe on the expensive side, but fits inside the premises of the thread 😎
The 'best' available amp kits you get here: http://www.vacuumstate.com
The DPA300b & RTP3D preamp. But If you can't afford go for the Atma-Sphere M60. The schematic is available for free here at diyaudio.com.
Or http://www.transcendentsound.com

The amp in my signature may not be the best looking aesthetically, although you could make it so if you desire.

I can attest to what Scott (scitizen17) says, I'm listening to one of them right now and it is by far the cleanest 5 watts of triode goodness money can build or buy. As far as building, the kit includes a great set of instructions and the help of the designer only an email away. Towards the end of his thread you can see a couple of builds of the kit including mine.

I cannot find any information on their website, but some of you are recommending it, so it should worth it. Why is it so good? Can you point me out to a thread or website where I can find more information about it? Maybe components included, ratings, topology....
Thanks!
You can't click on the link? It works for me. I remember when Atma Sphere first got started so long ago... They make some really interesting retro gear!
Yeah, I can click on it, but it shows no "DIY information", just the same as any commercial amp.
I want to know "where" are those 4k$ spent 😛
Yeah, I already knew that, thanks. But I want to know the information shown at, for example, this other shop: Important information regarding the design and component selection, detailed pictures of the insides, etc...
Something to make me decide to spend those 4k dollars instead of 1k or 2k.
Thanks!
