This was my 1st build. I drove to North Carolina to build it with my Dad. My Dad is an Electrical Engineer and his help was invaluable. He ensured that it was all done correctly and that I didn't electrocute myself
. This took me back to my childhood watching him build ham radio equipment and building Heathkit stereo amplifiers. The time we got to spend together completing this kit was priceless.
The kit is awesome with very high quality parts and construction. Stephen was awesome too with outstanding communications and willingness to go over and above when we ran in to an issue that needed to be resolved. I highly recommend this kit and this company to anyone who is on the fence on whether to buy or not. More importantly, the amp sounds awesome!!! The amp fired up 1st time with no issues at all.
