Amplifier kits?

[tomg]

Hi Steve, they have taken all of the fun out of DIY amplifier building. You
can still do it and end up with a pretty nice amp but the LM12CLK is a
single TO3 type (4pin) case that will put 80W to 4ohms with <0.01%
distortion....$35.00

The SSM2017 is a nice ultra low noise/distortion (1.5db/<0.01%) 
preamp that matches nicely.  $3.50
