You're looking at a KT88 PP there Si.....

Tell you what is a lovely amp... the naksa that John Kenny has. Its solid state, but sounds really really good. You should have a listen.....

Barry:

I think you're right, its really a perfect match I think between the amp and speakers. The circuit is also clever of course. Nothing special about the components, but the transformers are good I think. The vavles are all just russian jobs, 6N1P (russian dual triode) and 6P14P (russian EL84 equivalent), all cheap as chips.

Its not my build anyway!!

That's *exactly* what I'm looking for.

Naksa, eh? Interesting...

Heh. Just put Naksa amp into google to get more information, and happened across a review by some punter called Francis Morrin, on some website called tirnahifi...

[insert smiley]yup![/insert smiley]

It genuinely sounds like something I should listen to...

Jkeny has one, and I'm sure theres no problem getting a listen.

Yep, no problem at all, Si.
I'd also love to hear Fran's EL84 amp - looks excellent Fran & as you say it might be a nice match to my Jordans.

We should talk, and maybe arrange a gathering at my house to compare some of your toys against the Wadia 581SE. I'd be interested* in hearing that. The only thing is, I'm so far away from any kind of computer front-end that you'd basically need to bring everything with you. Would you be on for that some evening/Saturday/Sunday?

*and probably very depressed by the results.

Can I come along?
