Its what... $200? The mainline is worth it either way. The Mainline doesn't roll tubes (much) so you'll save a lot more not going through that in the elusive tube search. If it goes on sale, it's just stars aligning really.
OTOH, $200 keeps companies like BH alive. I have no qualms separating my cash to these folk. Honestly, I can't think of money better spent.
Well, maybe feeding starving orphans...

I got the kit today and took inventory and started the mechanical part....am short one of those #6 fiber shoulder washers that are used to mount the smaller transformers to the mounting plate and 2 49.9 ohm resistors, got 49k instead.... :>)
no biggie, sent a note to the parts email and got a fast reply from Josh! Thanks for the fast reply...I am continuing on the build and when the washer and resistors arrive it will be a simple install....
Going to paint the main power xfmr top housing a gloss black and tung oil the base. I found some clear Gorilla glue for wood etc that worked well for gluing the sides together.
Cant wait to hear how this amp compares to my Crack!

Could you post a photo of the 49K resistors? 49K is not a value we stock, but once every 5 to 10 years, the wrong resistor gets ordered or the supplier packs the wrong resistor, so it would be good to see what you have on hand.
So it took me 3 months to get around to building the Mainline. All checked out and worked beautifully first time firing it up!
Of course there were a few miswires along the way, but I caught them by carefully checking over the circuit at each step.
So far the sonic quality is as advertised- quite neutral and extended with absolutely silent background and huge amounts of detail. Great for listening deep into the mix on complex pieces of music.
