    Alchemist Kraken. I agree with the sellers description on looks ( i like the look), but full class A, don't think so,maybe first few watts ( Jez could answer this I'm sure). Excellent phono stage, 'err umm' well for me not that great. I would not describe the sound as the seller has, some say grainy, some warm. I like these amps, and use mine loads.
    I like it that the seller has placed the power box to the side of the Amp, as most sellers place it on top, where it just looks odd.
    Best with an 8ohm speaker, but can work with other rated speakers. Runs very hot, i added 'fin' legs to mine to raise it up a wee bit. Looks better ( to me), and more air flow around it.

    Sold for daft money

    They are "pushed in" and they do "not affect the sound quality"...

    Totally stuffed would be more like!

    Shame. Those would be quite nice little speakers.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Any idea what this thing is? I want to buy it just to find out. The tube is probably worth the price if it works.
