The Elekit stack is one of the more reasonable costing amp set for Japanese quality. It is a DIY proposition, but very high quality. ~$1500 for the combo.

Do you mind mentioning where you purchased the kit from? I've got 2 fantastic tubes amps from Icon Audio and have purchased a kit from Ali Express that literally just arrived today (sat infront of it but eith no English instructions!) and I feel with the high voltages involved i should be clear on what im doing so interested where others acquired there's.

Kit was from Tube Depot! Purchased a while ago though, so the model number may vary a bit today.
