Audio Note Amplifier Kits

I know there are many threads on this but they are old and wanted to get recent thoughts on AN kits available.  I was informed the Kits are not made by AN so does anyone have thoughts on the third party available kits?  Worth the money and time and any specifics on which kit model.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing the additional information regarding your beautiful amplifiers. They are certainly an effort to be proud of. Did you by chance use the Audio Note Tantalum non magnetic resistors?

The amplifiers look wonderful! I have no doubt that your additional upgrading has led to marvelous sound quality. Very nice!

I have been using 300b mono blocks for years and know what these types of amplifiers are capable of.

I built a pair of 300B monoblocks starting with the ANK kit but I made a lot of "upgrades" to the design. I am very pleased with the results. I like them better than my Pass XA60.8s

Interesting as these are very different types of amplifiers. Were they compared using the same speakers? I’ve read good things about the Audio Note Kit version amplifiers particularly if upgraded output transformers are chosen.
