Whats everyone's take on the kits offered by GlassJarAudio for the b22 and σ22?

This is going to be my first DIY amp (I've heard the warnings

) and I'm trying to figure out where to get the parts. Also, anyone willing to share their BoMs with their own parts tweaking?

Thanks!

Assuming you read the official b22 and o22 pages, you should really read at least the head-fi b22 thread before asking about boms, kits, configs etc. Not to mention this, this and this.
I know they are huge, but it is almost impossible to come up with a question, that has not been answered at least once.

Regarding the BOM, I personally posted one few days ago in one of the above links. The kit has been discussed as well.

Best,

I ordered all my beta 22 parts from glass jar audio. It made the process very easy and the parts were very well organized in labeled plastic bags with labels that corresponded to the board's silkscreen. As AMB states on his website, using boutique parts will likely have little impact on the final sound because the design of the amp is so complex, well thought out, and thorough. The glass jar parts are all quality parts, most of which are recommended on AMB's site.

If this is your first build, practice soldering on something else before you go to town on the nice boards. Lastly, be warned that stuffing the boards is the easy part. Casework takes a lot more ingenuity and planning. Good luck!

I've had some experience with soldering before, but nothing this fine, so that is excellent advice. Concerning your second warning, that is where I'm more comfortable; being a mech. engineer and having all the software available for planning/designing has its advantages

Thanks for the advice!
