The kit is very simple, anyone with some common sense can put these kits together! It is a few months now since I put mine together and I have to say I’m very happy with the mono-blocks. Initially I had a slight hum problem because I was running the pre-amp section of my integrated valve amp, using unbalanced adaptor cables. The Nilai’s still sounded excellent and didn’t take too long to “run in”. I then managed to get a valve pre-amp with balanced outputs; hum problem solved but the pre-amp now had to be run in. The combination now sounds pretty stunning I think. Plenty of power on tap, black backgrounds and sweet (But not sugary!)highs, clean and well defined low end. Midrange is detailed, acurate (Timbre) and agile. Brass sounds like brass and strings – cello, violin and guitar – are pure and realistic (If the recording is up to it!). These kits are not cheap, but I think they still represent a clear bargain. The rest of the system is; Auralic Aries G1, Oppo udp 205 (Mainly used as a DAC, but also for disc spinning.) Pro-Ject Pre-amp RS (New old stock), Hypex Nilai 500’s and Audiophysic Spark III speakers. All power is routed through a Puritan psm156 (DC blocker). Thoroughly recommended. KJF audio was spot on for service and a pleasure to deal with!
