    The Cinemag cmli15 transformers are like $80ea x2, x 2 RCA and x2 XLR, plus an enclosure. should be roughly $200 in parts. What are you going to charge in the spirit of SBAF?

    + Marv's hourly wage * working hours + inventory and admin cost + ...

    I bet the fair price will be around $350 or a little higher (total).

    @JK47 $150 for friends and liked contributors, $500 for randos. Lol.

    I would absolutely be in if it were below $400.

    That SoCal amp dude charged like $500. If you buy a step up from K&K they charge $50-60 to build the kit for you.

    @purr1n Have any shots of your trafo? I took a quick look at the site and it legitimately seems like you just need XLR in, RCA out, 2x transformers, something to put it in, and a bit of wire. Simple as hell, but probably $200-$250 in parts. Oh, and a resistor.

    Parts are higher than I unthinkingly assumed. The $550 for the AmpsandSound box is looking OK now. The Iso-Max Jensen offerings are < $300 retail, though perhaps those transformers are significantly cheaper builds

    Marv mentioned somewhere here the 1:1 jensens used in the iso box and the cinemags looked pretty close to the same, since they shared the same lineage. Maybe Marv can get a deal from David at Cinemag?
