Darren Burt	Any Canadian 5E3 builders?? Hey all...   Looking to build my first amp. Thought about the AX84 P1, but now I'm thinking a 5E3. Both seem within my scope of ability, but I'd find more use from the Deluxe (it being more powerful).     I'm looking for a good source of parts (or, even better, a kit) in Canada. Most kits I've seen come from the States.....   Thanks!   Darren

Sean Kilback	hi Darren,     I don't know of any kit suppliers in Canada and all parts suppliers for tubes, speakers, and specialty parts charge way more than US dealers (including the exchange)...I'm not sure why.     I buy from WeberVST and MojoTone directly.     Where are you located?     cheers,   Sean

anonymous	Interesting!Thanks for the tip, Sean.   I'm way out in Southeastern BC (near Invermere). The closest big centre is Calgary.....   I may wind up using an American kit or parts source, I guess.   Thanks,   Darren

Darren Burt	Taking the plunge! Thanks, everyone.   After a little research, I think my best bet is Bruce at Mission Amps. Just e-mailed hom regarding getting his kit to Canada......Bruce, if you're reading this, that no-subject 'RE:' email is me.....     No doubt I'll be pestering you all for advice soon....   Darren
