Hi Guys
I've decided that I need a valve amp. But rather than buying one, I am thinking of buying a kit and assembling it. Or maybe do something even more challenging and buy components and try and build something from scratch (getting circuit diagrams and stuff from the internet, of course).
I think technically it should be something that is doable, but I am trying to decide if the effort is worth it. Can someone that has assembled an amp from a kit please comment. Were you happy with the end result?
Also have any of you guys done something like build an amp from scratch before? How much effort was it.
Or should I rather just leave it to the professionals and just buy an amp?
So my implicit assumption is that it will be cheaper to do it this way, but that might be wrong as well.
Anyway, I'm just posting here because I thought I would ask people with more experience than me about this.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
Au revoir
