In my opinion "you do," sourcing the parts yourself. 8)

You learn alot more as well.

I agree. Plus there is no one who does an entire kit out of the box.

You can get most of the electronic parts from a combination of sources, both big boys such as Mouser and Allied, as well as smaller ones, some of whom are on this board.

For the more unique components (perf/turret boards, chassis, and transformers), they are all on this board and am sure they would be glad to pipe in.

I just finished a Ceriatone "kit" (prebuilt chassis) and added Toneslut transformers. The build quality of the Ceriatone was killer, all high quality parts, and Nik was great to work with and shipped fast. I would guess his unassembled kits are great, and much easier than finding all the parts yourself.

I just finished one and got it without the trannies or tubes as well. Cost of the amp with shipping was about $450 and Moose`s trannies were about $125. Considering I paid over $2K for a 2Rock Ruby a few years ago, I feel like I stole this one, LOL!

Allynmey, do you have a website I can order parts from? I`d rather do business with someone who is a member here than the big guys.
