But usually when I buy a kit amp, unless I have learnt electrical theory/tube circuit design well, I consider it a bit of a risk when I build the kit. Most kit builders offer support, and I think Brian does a good job in that regard.

You said $600 ...... but a kit really is vulnerable to the builders skills, and many many factors could cause one amp to have a noise.

I have two Basie preamps. One has a very faint hum/noise when my ear is up against teh speaker, the other doesnt. I really think in my case the first one is not even a problem, because tube gear is more likely to have some noise, but more so, in this case, there are some small variations in how the wiring is done (twists, and where power supply wires cross signal carrier) that may make the difference.
