Okay! So, in your opinion it's basically a waste of money. Such is life!
Can you recommend another tube preamp that is designed correctly and includes equivalent features with a price that's the same or less? The special Mundorf output caps added $95 and the remote volume control added $290. Then, with a $20 tube upgrade and shipping charges of $30, total cost for this kit was $1355. I don't know anything about amplifier design, but if you know of a better tube preamp at the same price, I might buy it.
What do you think about the M-125 monoblock amplifiers. I estimate the kit price including tubes will run about $2100 a pair. Do you think these amplifiers are worth the money. If not, can you recommend another tube amplifier with at least 125-wpc and better performance that costs the same or less. I'm thinking of building a tube power amplifier kit as my next project and I need a minimum of 125-wpc to drive my Thiel's.
Thanks!
