The Torpedo has been a tempting amp to me. I had seriously considered buying the T3 kit when it came out, but i just don't like the look of the amp. I know the whole point is to be long and thin, but it just looks odd to me. And now that the T3 is available only as pre-built I can't justify the price. The T1 kit could be a nice project, pretty straightforward build, and the Cinemag option is cool. I guess it depends on if you want to build from a kit on PCB or point to point schematic.
T3 pre-built and PCB everything is all out of stock. T3 PCB is overpriced at $150 and its still sold out so it must be good. ECP Audio had L2 PCBs available but even they are gone. The only choices are Torpedo 1 and Headwatt. Sodacose has a parafeed design very similar to L2 and T1 on his blog that can be built at lower cost than even T1. Looks like an easy and fun build. I wonder if TomB and Dsavitsk have plans to restock their PCBs or not.
