Having recently built an ANK Kit 1 myself, I can tell you that I love the amp. I have the 2014 Edition with the updated, heavier gauge aluminum chassis, the newer heatsink configuration and the latest transformers, which are made to ANK's spec - they are monstrously heavy and seem very robust.
I find the amp to make wonderful music as you'd expect a 300B to be, yet there's nothing slow, syrupy or mushy about the amp's character. It's a remarkably "modern" sounding amp - sweet, extended highs and an amp that, with the right speakers (read, easier to drive) will pump out fairly amazing bass.
I am pretty certain that Brian Smith of ANK in Canada buys the C-Core trannies directly from AN UK. He's a great guy and I'd suggest you call him if you're interested in one of his products. Happily, ANK is currently running a July 10% off promotion, too.
I have a little audio blog and blogged the process of building my Kit 1. I also offer a lot of specific listening impressions. You're welcome to take a look:
