Well, we are shipping the "maxxed-out" version now. Phew! The price for the unit comparable to the old kit is now $1849. The price increase is accounted for by:- Transformer prices have gone up more than 15% since the last kit price increase
- The revised kit has several better (and more expensive) components
- The revised kit has options that were not present in the original kit such as the choice between tube and solid state rectifiers
- The revised kit is easier to assemble
- The revised kit has better MM/MC switching and twice the number of MC loading choices
- The revised kit has all of the upgrades to the original kit includedNow that I've made the case, I hope that you will agree that this kit is a very worthwhile improvement over the original. The only thing that would make it better is the ability to buy in at a substantially lower price and then add upgrades as the budget allows. This is exactly what the Basic version is meant to be. Stay tuned! I am moving on to work on writing instructions for the Basic version now and will have it available soon.
Thanks for your patience and business!
