Also the enclosure most of the time is the single most expensive component

To the OP, if money is tight the beta22 is a bad project to undertake. Thinking that you only need the parts from Glass Jar or that what is left will be cheap is more than likely going to end up with you having a pile of parts and no amp. Generally I'd say the cost to populate the boards might represent half the total cost of the amplifier, it's even worse when building a balanced version. |
