Glad you enjoyed not only the build but the sound. Audio kits are very cool - my mechanical engineer wife and I enjoyed building a Triode tube integrated amp a number of years ago and we learned a lot. Look forward to your further impressions.
Yes, Nelson came up with a design for Class A amp back in 2016 for the Burning Amp festival held every fall in San Francisco. The get-together was dubbed Amp Camp, and everyone who attended got to build and leave with their own amp. Hence, AmpCamp Amp.

The latest version of the AmpCamp Amp aka ACA is a revised build referred to as v1.8.

This design is pretty cool as you can run it as a stereo amp, or...bridged or parallel monoblocks.
