[QUOTE="ghostinthemachine, post: 72082, member: 760"] Been busy with DIY tube amps for a while myself and I can answer your questions fairly accurately... Two most expensive components in a tube amp are the TUBES and TRANSFORMERS. Good coupling capacitors are third in line. Then the chassis, labour, switches, connectors, wiring and finish trail. Weight is due to the mass of the transformers. Perception remains a bit of a personal opinion. But they are certainly more exclusive than "sand amps". Also more "hands-on" (biasing, maintenance, etc) [/QUOTE]
