Audio Note Amplifier Kits


I know there are many threads on this but they are old and wanted to get recent thoughts on AN kits available.  I was informed the Kits are not made by AN so does anyone have thoughts on the third party available kits?  Worth the money and time and any specifics on which kit model.

Thanks

I have an ANK 4.1x DAC. Sold as a kit but they offer an assembly service

which I used. $3.5k vs $25k for the AudioNote product. 

I built a pair of 300B monoblocks starting with the ANK kit but I made a lot of "upgrades" to the design. I am very pleased with the results. I like them better than my Pass XA60.8s. I built my own enclosures to allow more room for the changes I wanted to make and to move all the connections to the rear. You can see them on my virtual system page.  

I've built several ANK kits. With a little creativity, you can get much better performance than their stock builds.

These kits offer tremendous value.

Determine your power requirements and choose that amp kit.

Interesting as these are very different types of amplifiers. Were they compared using the same speakers? I’ve read good things about the Audio Note Kit version amplifiers particularly if upgraded output transformers are chosen.
