Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass?

I've never built one, or heard them but this kit looks fun as hell, and includes everything you need:

First order of business after you complete it, linear power supply: https://www.ebay.com/itm/150VA-DC24V-5A-Low-Noise-LPS-HI-END-Linear-Power-Supply-for-Audio-PSU/11299... Have fun with it!

The power supply in an amp is a significant part of the cost and increases the size of the chassis. In fact, I think the power supply is at least 50% of how good an amp really is.
