my new amp J.Wood KT88 :)

Hmm. Bunch of wimps!

I think nothing of carting two 35kg bags of ballast out of Wickes builder's merchants. One on each shoulder.

Used to walk up the road with 50kg bags on each shoulder when I was paving for a living. They don't supply 50kg bags these days. Health & Safety an' all that!

Different kettle of fish. Carrying heavy loads on your shoulders is much easier than holding 50kg at waist height, particularly when it sticks out about a foot and a half ( have you seen the size of a Liang amp?) :-)

yep and in my case i have 2 f**ked vertebra L3 and L4 im fine lifting heavy stuff on the day,i suffer the next day though.

Yeah, it's another reason why 'Sorry State' amp owners are girth-challenged weeny-boys!!

LOL, well I don’t have a shortage of girth, do have the shoulders to match though. :-)

Happy to hear you are enjoying it Jamie - it found a good home!

cheers, Nick (the previous owner)

Nice one, Jamie. Good choice. The recent decisions you've been making on hi-fi are top notch and I'm sure have greatly enhanced your listening pleasure, so keep it up!

Enjoy

Marco.

ah well i just followed good advice

Result there Jamie ! well pleased for you and well done for being prepared to take a punt cause sometimes you just have to - (he who dares and all that)

i thought about it and then said 'what the f**k

Congrats.
Really nce amp.

I think these look really good.
Anti-bling.

it would look nice with a copper plinth though

Welcome to the club

Unfortunately i never heard a J.Wood amp , but felt the affect of one. After picking up Al's amp from Anthony, i stayed at a friends house. Carrying that amp up a steep 100ft long front garden with a few sets of steps along the way, left me feeling crushed, and i'm 6ft+, and strong....
A great amp by all accounts. Well done Jamie.. you bought a keeper i think.

cheers mate.

[Sherwood]

The specs didn't list Kg per £!

[speedracer]

Having heard Al's John Wood amp you have got a really fine amplifier there, battleship build quality & good looking in a functional way, I am sure it is a keeper. Nice one.

[Mr.Ian]

mono blocks make carrying easier, and the output transformers are bigger !! welcome to the club, enjoy
