Hi Wayne!Yeah, the new TT Three Ref costs about as much as my VW New Beetle. But the SOUND . .. . . . holy cow! There will be lesser incarnations of the three, which will still be pretty expensive. But then there are the TT One and Two, which are back down in the human range and sound extremely good. (A TT One retired my LP 12 . . .)
Sorry, none of them are available as kits. The Audio Note kit electronics are being brought back by a fellow in Canada, though, which I think is a very cool thing. He's just getting underway at audionotekits.com
