It was explained to me that the relays are not repairable. Once they go they go and you have to cannibalize parts from other amps. That is one of my fears/motivation.

If you have a good tech rebuilding or going over your gear. 9 times out of 10 the relays can be salvaged or even replaced with something similar.
Did you check out the Dynaco kits?

about the dynaco kits.
I did check it out. I am comfortable with DIY, I've built speakers and 3 phono amps. I'm not a pro but know my way around a soldering iron and a circuit schematic. I've got a science degree and a career in technology development. One of these kits would be the biggest job I've done though. I know so little about tubes that I don't even know where to begin. I'm reluctant because I know so little about tubes that if I screwed it up I really wouldn't know where to begin trouble shooting. It is rare that you just put something together and it simply works, at least rare for me!
What do you think about this kit vs the jolida, night and day difference? Which model in particular do you recommend?

The kits are REALLY easy. Very simple step by step instructions. And there is a ton of on line help.
Let me put it this way. The Dynaco kit was one of the biggest selling kits ever. So if about 200,000 people got them together without much of a fuss, then I think you can too.
Go for it!
I guess ultimately I should get the preamp the PAS3 but now we are starting to talk some money. I may need to put that off a few paychecks. I have a promithius passive preamp that uses a TVC (toroidal volume control). I know nothing about how well Tubes play with non-tubes especially a passive preamp. I've read tubes don't play well with non-tubes.
Thanks!

They work great passive. And they also have a PAS you can buy on tub4hifi's site.
The tech told me the c4 relays are sealed and not accessable. If they fail you just have to get a new one or find a way to break into the sealed relay boxes.

They are working fine in my C4 and M4. These came out when Yamaha was building stuff right.
