JLH 2003 Class A - how good is it?


Hello.
There is such an amplifier KIT JLH2003 https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-PCS-HOOD-JLH2003-Class-A-Single-ended-power-amplifier-DIY-Kit-22W-22W-8oh...
How good is it? Is it possible to buy a class A  amplifier better for the money?

Sorry for my English, I use google translate

Well, I can replace these cheap components with better transistors, capacitors and resistors, and the sound will probably get better from this.
I do not know anything about the heating of this amplifier, but I think that he needs massive radiators.
Yes 1969 is an old 10+10w scheme. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-2-Two-Channel-JLH-1969-A-CLASS-A-Amplifier-Board-DIY-Kit-ST2N3055-MKP/...
But this is the new 2003 scheme.
First Watt F5 clone retails for $ 700. which is not comparable with the price of JLH.
Most likely for such little money you can’t buy a better-sounding amplifier.
@ roberjerman This is Kits for the DIY. You yourself buy a case with radiators and a transformer according to your preferences

I would rather hear the opinions of people who really heard how this amplifier sounds.
