I'm leaning more and more towards DIY, and have been threatening to
buy a book or two on the subject (I've been thinking about the books
by Morgan Jones, "Valve Amplifiers, 3rd Ed." and "Building Valve
Amplifiers"). Part of it is the potential cost savings, and the other
part is simply the challenge of building my own setup. I should have
pretty much all the equipment I need, I just need parts.
The web can be your best freind here. The circuit I am using I pulled
off the web 2 years ago. My amp works
fine but the web page is no-more. http://www.percyaudio.com/ Percy
Audio has a wide selection of parts
other than tubes. Expect audio quality to be expensive but shop
around for the best value and least amount
of snake oil. Also take your time a good amp is a work of art, it take
time and remember high voltage does
not go well with Cats, Kids or Bath-tubs.

PS. Remember some metal work is involved with most tube amps so
keep that in mind.
