    Default Wanted: Valve Integrated

    Anyone selling, I'm interested in what's out there before settling on my final amp.

    I would like to try a WAD KT88 XL Integrated or similar, remote would be good too but not essential.

    I'm due to have a home demo of a valve integrated amp this weekend but just wondered if anyone was selling a WAD or similar to go with my Tannoy Berkeleys, I go to 11 most days so need a bit of grunt too

    Budget ....... Well, I'm not sure, let's just say nothing over £2000, but being Scottish I like to haggle

    Friend of mine has just bought a new tube amp and taking delivery today (100w) and is therefore selling his Jolida JD801BRC off cheap (he is keen to shift so offering a good price).

    A nice looker of an amp in black.
    Volume remote control.
    The coupling caps have been upgraded to Dynamicap TRT.

    He is wanting £600 plus post which is a cracking deal.

    The amp comes with old stock pre and driver tubes (very decent heritage), and a matched quad of Genelex Gold Lion 6550’s cryo treated.

    Lovely amp that Robert. Great price too, especially with the cryo’ed lions.

    Not one that was on my radar but looks decent enough. I'll keep it in mind if nothing else turns up.

    Don't be put off by the name, Jolida make credible products. The Jolida JD9 I have makes a wonderful sound.

    Just had a quick look on what's available ... This would leave you sufficient budget for a nice pre:

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Woodside-...QAAOSwqfpZ0iYA

    Also not integrated but this is my favourite of the Unison Research range (never liked any of their parallel single ended jobbies though the Preludio - one single ended pentode - was nice). There's a lovely matching pre for this too.

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unison-Re...AAAOSwTQtaLSRQ

    This is an integrated that should do a decent job with Tannoys (and getting sensibly priced after the reduction):

    http://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threa...-stuff.209319/

    Also pretty decent (Paul Coupe had one of these for a while driving his RFC Canterburys):

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Emille-KI...0AAOSwWHlZna~j

    I would say look for something push pull, KT88 family (KT90, KT120, KT150) and in general you can't go far wrong for Tannoys.

    EDIT - this might still be available

    Also always had a hankering for one of these:

    I must be on the right track as I have all of those amps in my watch list and also been keeping an eye on the PFM ones.

    I'll pm you about another option

    Haha ... was having a look though eeebs and some of the sales sites only to find that Tom has beaten me to it! Some very nice amps in his post, be aware that the UR is pretty deep, so measure before getting too interested.
