Default Re: I want to build a stereo headset valve amplifier

Hi,

The homebrew route will teach you much where as I've found that building a kit from a set of instructions you just place parts together and don't really understand why, plus with homebrew the only limitations to the design are what you have thrown in the mix! where as with a kit you are tied to the one way that the designer wanted the end product to finish up like. (circuit wise anyway)


I also agree with Pete's comments above about building an attenuator.
Cheers
