Anyone have any links to a kit or something? I live in Canada so shipping on every part seperate would suck.

EDIT:Okay i found this cool site digikey.com so now i think i can just buy the specific parts there.
I also did some research and a PIMETA seems to be the best amp for $100ish so if anyone has a list of parts for a PIMETA that would be wonderful. If anyone has one tweaked for a 595(if this is even possible) that is even better.

What's the amp for?
How much do you want to spend?

 

[napol30n]

The amp would be for something like Sen 595. The amp can be big its just going to sit on my desk so im not going to pay extra for portability.
Im willing to spend whatever is the best bang:buck. I'm looking to spend $100ish but i could maybe spend up to $170ish

I don't have experiece with the 595s, but a Millet with the 580s is great. There's no kit but I bet you could do it for $170 w/o a fancy store bought case and a elpac.

Here's some threads:

Maybe some Canadian members can speak about parts shipping from DigiKey or Mouser.

For tubes you might contact edisonwu. He lives in Halifax.

Thx.

the kookaburra is a very good kit for the price. it should be in the performance range of a pimeta and includes nearly all the parts you will need. i am nearly finished wiring mine up for use as a preamp/headphone amp so i can't compare with my pimeta or millett. i believe tilt posted recently about building one and using with senns.

Actually, in terms of being used a headphone amplifier, it's basically a CMoy with a digital stepped attenuator instead of a potentiometer. It drives headphones directly from an opamp, a la the CMoy. Nice piece of kit though

Absolutely, I was going to get one for a play with too. Russ is a really nice guy to deal with as well

I think im gonna go with the PIMETA since digikey seems reasonable, i just dont know what ONAMPs to use.

AD8620AR for left/right and AD8610AR for ground is recommended.
