Happy to see a couple of tube amps among the kit listings.

I've enjoyed building many, many tube amplifiers in the past two decades or so. Initially they were kits, later I did rolled my own point-to-point amps and later still laid out my own PCB's for some PCB-based tube amps.

While the high voltages might seem intimidating (safety-wise) I hope that doesn't keep people from pursuing this class of amplifiers. If you're smart about it, you'll be okay. And there is nothing like the sweet music of non-quantum sound amplification.

(When consider that my other hobby involves a table saw I'm beginning to wonder what might be behind some of my life choices…)
