Long ago, my friend tried to replicate a very good high end Amp and his cost was less than 1/4 of the retail price. I think the retail price was $10K ST My Ambiophonics System with Virtual Concert Hall Ambience Link to comment

It works well because the circuits are fairly simple. Also the fairly new Prima Luna Prologue One, except the auto-bias functionality is on a PCB: Quite neat layout regardless.
