- Try building a tube amp, from all new parts, no pulls, surplus or nos, bet that will be just as, if not more expensive. Everyone selling a built amp, or a kit, expects at least some profit. Tube amp

- I will contend that they are not much different in price than tube amps. Lets take inflation out of it. You can compare prices with current amps. Elecraft KPA-1500 - Amp and Auto Antenna tuner 1500
