He said that there were many people selling 312-type preamps - not specifically kits.
Sorry, I thought we were on the topic of kits.

The Seventh Circle A12 is a great sounding piece and is a pretty good deal in kit form - do we really need another choice for the same sound?
I guess it depends. How much does an A12 kit sell for? If you go to Owels site and check out his blog, he claims to be able to make these 312 pres relatively cheap.

I've also read a couple post here on GS saying that the A12 doesn't really sound like a 312.

Why not ask for something different...like Chandler TG2\Germ knock-offs?

I already own a TG-2 and a brand new API 3124 runs for $3000 up here in Canada. Plus, Wade at Chandler has helped me out of a couple jams and has priced his gear reasonably. But if you want a Chandler knock off, maybe contact Owel and see what he can do for you.
