I'm thinking of a Bottlehead 2A3 kit.


Has anyone built the "Paramour" 2A3 tube amp kit from bottlehaed.com? I'm thinking of getting it. Yes, I know it only comes with the Chinese 2A3's, but I could maybe get better 2A3's later. As for the low power output, I plan on either buying or building (or both) speakers of high efficiency in the future (already have some 91 dB, as well as some PA ones I built a decade ago, besides small Maggies and "monitors"). And considering I have two other very satisfying amps already, I'm not buying a 2A3 amp because I want to blow the windows out of the neighbor's house a quarter mile away........What I want to know is, is there any possibility that this amp kit is "really bad", "won't work", comes without instructions or full parts compliment, etc?..................And yes, I know many of you like Dynaco amps, but I already have a Rogue 88 that's terrific, and since this Paramour kit is so cheap, I do really want to build it. Should I? The picture looks very nice to me...

Bottlehead has a very active owner's forum. Link is on their website. From what I've heard (with some personal experience), their customer service is excellent and they will bend over backwards to help you out.
