Into the dark abyss I go again....

I'm thinking from the above site that had the raw boards and tubes ($165 with shipping), that I could build the JP200 for around $300. But you might be right, getting the kit is the easy way to go.

Edit: Tehn I'm looking at all the JADIS kits on Ebay: http://electronics.shop.ebay.com/?_f...IS+&_sacat=293

There are a huge number! It will take a while to figure out which ones best.

Yeah, there are serveral that seem worth a careful look:

• 8Audio
• DIY Gene
• diyaudiokit
• kikitronic

I like that DIY Gene sells complete kits with nice cases; so does diyaudiokit though they seems pricier and/or not as nice. Otherwise it's pretty hard to evaluate, e.g., the quality of the parts or accompanying documentation.

If you want to build from a bare board, a couple sell those and I think a couple sell boards plus the components. I suspect buying the board + components is cheaper than buying just the board, then ordering parts from say, Newark, or Mouser. I'd guess this is true even if you want to upgrade to a few super quality parts from say, Parts ConneXion.
