Building amps from kits


I am debating doing this just for the fun of it. I see them mentioned but have never seen a kit for sale. Where would I find one? Is this a bad idea? How well do the kits go together. Would appreciate input from peolple who have done this. Thanks

here are a few sources I've found, have no experience with any Triode Supply Japan http://triode.netoffice.ne.jp/ Bottlehead http://www.bottlehead.com/index.html Valve magazine http://www.bottlehead.com/valve/valve.html Jute on Kits http://indigo.ie/~andre/Recommendedtubekits http://www.audioxpress.com/index.htm http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/ has some DIY information
You don't mention your skill level. a) If experienced, there's a "bigger" kit from Atma-Sphere, M-60 MkII that's supposed to be killer! The price is more than those mentioned above. Check out: www.atma-sphere.com b) Ifa novice, I've got simple Sonic Frontiers kit the DAC-1.5 (with HDCD) for sale. It's new in the box- i.e., unassembled! Try it to build your confidence!
