    We are planning to add MK3 amp kits and ST70 tube cages as the next product offerings from Tubes4hifi/VTA.  Looking for what you would like to see first.

    MK3 amp kits - These will be the same high quality and style as our ST70/ST120 kits.  This would include features like: a USA made 16GA polished stainless chassis with silkscreen, just like our ST70 chassis; VTA driver board with CCS; and the same high quality transformers (built to MK3 specs of course!) as our other offerings, made here in the USA.  If I can get a couple of interested people on board, this can happen sooner.  Pricing for the MK3 kit will be ~$850 per amp (base kit, no tubes).

    Tube cages - These will be replicas of the Dynaco style ST70 tube cage (MK3 will be later) and powder coated in black.  USA made.  Pricing for the tube cages will be ~$150 + shipping

    Please let me know your thoughts or any questions you have.  Thanks in advance!

    The tube cages should be made of non-magnetic material to prevent leakage from mains transformer inflickt humming of the cages.

    Thoughts on aluminum vs stainless for tube cages?  I'll have to explore cost options for each to determine the feasibility of this.
