I'm thinking of building an amp with a bit of punch. I'd like a bit more power in the tank than I currently have (70-80 Watts/channel RMS solid state and roughly 60 watts/channel RMS tube). The Class D Audio kits
classdaudio.com/all-amplifier-kits/ have intrigued me for a while. Anyone have experience with them?
I'm thinking of going with this one
http://www.classdaudio.com/cda-amplifier-kits/cda-250l-power-amplifier-kit/, but I don't know enough about them to make a good decision. Anyone care to break down the differences in them, other than price and output power?
Thanks,
Mike

Which tube amp do you have. 60w is a good amt of juice for tube.
@hong, i should start building some amps...
Thanks for the info Hong!
Hi Ani,
I have a Jolida SJ-502A. I was fortunate to get it the way I did. A gentleman put it on a local on-line classified site. I was the first one to call and show up at his house with the money. The great part is that he really didn't care about how much he could get for it, he just didn't use it anymore and wanted to get rid of it, I paid a whopping $25 for it. I mentioned to him that the price was extremely low, but like I said, he just wanted to get rid of it.I think it was my score of a lifetime!

Thanks Craig. Any model you might recommend over another?
Mike
You wouldn't recommend their transformer and power supply?

Thanks Hong. I'll more than likely go with ClassDAudio CDA 250. The aspect of transformers that I don't quite get is figuring amperage and wattage from volt/amps. I understand Ohm's law, but not how to figure anything with VA.
