5 out of 5 starsJames does amazing work. Truly amazing work. I honestly don't know where to start with this review. His build work is the best I've seen. From wirework & woodwork, to the customizations he took on - absolutely perfect. He built one hell of a Crack, I can't overstate how much I appreciate everything James did. We had a lot of fun too. Thank you James!!!

5 out of 5 starsEXPERT work. I'm so glad I paid the money to get the wiring professionally done. The amp sounds AMAZING, and I don't have any doubts about the wiring, connections, or longevity like I would have if I did the work myself. :)

5 out of 5 starsI could not recommend James any more highly. Throughout the entire process of building my Elekit Tu-8900, I have little doubt that I was a fairly demanding and particular buyer, and James dealt with all my specific, custom requests with great class and gracefulness, as well as providing specific updates on the item every day. I could not imagine a better customer experience - buy from James without hesitation.

5 out of 5 starsI can agree with the previous reviewers:) The device arrived very well packaged at my home. I am very happy with sound of the amp. Organic and not fatiguing sound so far. I am curious how the sound will improve after burning in. James was very reactive and helped me a lot in answering my questions. He also helped me a lot with the Op Amp options ( I choosed sparkos labs opamps). James always kept me up to date on the state of assembling of the amplifier. This was a very good shopping experience. I would buy the unit again.

5 out of 5 starsIm not much of a reviewer but i will say James exceeded my expectations. I was hesitant at first but then I decided to give a shot. The amp came carefully packaged. The amp sounds super great and I kinda wasn’t expecting it to sound superb for my hd600s. It literally sounds like hd800s. You won’t go wrong with James. He will answer every question and will send you updates on your amp. Everything just came out perfect.

5 out of 5 starsYou’re not buying a piece of equipment from James, you’re buying an art piece. This man invests his passion, love and craftsmanship into every product he creates. Updates every step of the way, the expectations you have for what you receive are lower than what he sets for himself. This man takes pride in his work, I can respect that any day of the week. Thank you for my beautiful Amp.

5 out of 5 starsGreat sounding headphone amp expertly built by James, a first-rate seller with excellent communication. I was kept up-to-date on the whole build process. A few supply snags presented themselves and James brought them to my attention promptly and presented solutions each time. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions
What cables will I need to get the amp running?
If you plan on hooking the amp directly to a desktop computer or laptop, you’ll need a 3.5mm to 2-Male RCA cable that is not included with the amp.
Do I need a Digital Audio Converter (DAC)?
It is highly recommended, but not absolutely necessary. A DAC will greatly improve sound quality and it will clear up noise coming from your computer. It also scales well, so the better the DAC the better the sound.
Source (PC, Laptop) --> DAC --> Amp
Can you build any other amps besides the ones listed?
Absolutely. I can build any headphone amp that comes in a kit.
I live outside the US, can you change the voltage of the amp?
Yes. All the amps that I'm selling have a universal transformer so I can wire it to the appropriate voltage. Just send me a note if you need me to modify it
Do you ship worldwide and will my package arrive safely?
Yes, I ship globally. I've had customers as far as the UK, India, South Africa, and Germany. All the amps that I sold abroad arrived safely and in perfect working order. I make sure all my amps have plenty of cushion and are neatly packed.
What kind of audio files should I be using?
At least 320kbps. FLAC or better is best.
What kind of solder do you use for your kits?
Cardas Eutectic Solder. Contains Sn, Pb, Cu, Ag. Silver for higher conductivity and stronger solder joints. This solder is top of the line
What cable do I need to hook up the DAC to the Amp?
You will need a 2 male to 2 male RCA cable
