As people mentioned there are some big holes in your query.
Skill level; If you are a "handy" type of person who likes to make or fix things then you could probably do a good job with a kit. You might be even able to build one from scratch by custom ordering all the parts.
Finances; If you have deep pockets Audio Note Kits are about top of the line. If you want to drop in and not get hosed buy a Single ended console amp from the 60s like Magnavox, Zenith, RCA, etc. and rebuild one of those. And don't dismiss the sound quality of those units. They can sound extremely good, especially if you have not heard a single ended amp before. The amp can be bought for about a hunret buxs and since you are a noob, rebuilding an already "working" amp can be a good warm up for building an amp of higher quality. cheers, Dak
