As I write this email I am listening to my Elekit TU870R which is Elekit's small 6BM8 amp that I use for my office system. If your experience follows mine I think you will be more than happy with the finished product as they are really quite excellent little amps as well as great fun to build. Victor Kung (VK Music) has also been very helpful and a pleasure to work with. My only suggestion is that if this is your first kit take your time and re-check every connection and solder joint especially as the voltages in a tube amp are quite high and thus mistakes are not well tolerated (either by you or the amp). Good luck and enjoy (I presume you have seen the TU879s review in 6 Moons).

Regards, Jerry
