We'll have BOM up on the site very soon. It's essentially the recommended Cavalli BOM, with a few minor changes to accommodate part availability, plus all the additional odds and ends that makeup the complete kit. Luis mentioned some tuning changes. Those aren't part of the stock kit, but will be offered as an upgrade in a bit. It's easy enough to retrofit the stock CTH with this changes later (the case was designed with these upgrades in mind).

Can you please mail me the bom?

Kit price is $449.99 + shipping.
So is there a price established or do you want to keep that to email?

That is very reasonable. Please post a pic of an assembled unit when you have one available to be photographed.

Indeed..and for someone who asked about the torpedo, which is a parafeed amp. I am not confident its topology works well with orthos. High impedance cans it is pprbably a better match. Then again i am talking out of my ass here since i haven't heard it.

THe parafeed amps that I hAVE heard have been excellent!

What's with the triad transformer? Is taht a desktop transformer or a bare one?

If its the latter, what's the solution for casing it?

x2.  i don't think people totally realize just how much a chassis adds to the total cost of a commercial or DIY (nice looking) build, especially in smaller quantities.

Yeah, I remember building my first amp. Bodywork was one of if not the most hardest thing to do. First of all the planning, designing so that it doesn't look too horrifying, then doing a cardboard mockup to check for any errors. And most mistakes at that stage are really costly. I was lucky that I only had one- the pre-amp switch was intersecting with the attenuator ribbon wire. And yeah- it still might look like a rats nest inside:

This looks really sweet!

Maybe it'll be my first "DIY-amp". How much are we talking "all included" (except for S&H)?

Is the Joe Audio only offering the full kits now?
I enquired about a couple of PCBs a few days back & they haven't bothered to reply back.
