I'm looking for valve amplifier for up to 400 (prefer cheaper :). This will be my first valve amplifier. I'm based in Dublin, so It has to be shipped.
Thanks

A friend of mine has just got one of those Music Angels, and he is very happy with it. It was his first experience with valve amps, and it has been a good one. :)

If you can go a bit higher this might be a good deal:

I've couple I would sell. What sort of amp and what power output are you looking for?

The Unisis-is-is-is-is was a striking confection of chrome wonderment. Sounded nice too I remember and didn't thrash the valves as my Genesis Mono's did at the time..

Thanks for help friends,
I'm looking for my first valve amp. I have NAD C355Bee and it is not enough musical when I listen music not too loud.
My speakers are Acoustics Energy Neo3 (which I will sell and buy new in the future). This was my first stereo. The source is squeezebox touch.

My MAX budget is 500 including shipping to ROI. I heard that wd KEL84 is good amp and I would be interested in buying one of this. Are there any better deals around?

Thanks,

[Ali Tait]

There is a KEL for sale on the WD forum. Do you want me to contact the seller for you?

Hi,
I've contacted the seller and offer 350 for that. Still waiting for his reply.
Do you think 350 is fair price (400 looks high)? I've seen them going for 280 - 300 used last year.

Weeel, see if he bites. It is the XL version though, so wil have some upgraded components, which cost more. I can't think of a better amp for a first valve one. I've had a couple myself and I think they're great amps. Real giant killers.

Are you sure he got your PM? Not certain you can immediately PM on WD.

Hi,
I've changed my max price to 650.
I was interested in this one:

but the seller decidet to not sell it.
Can you recommend me other amplifier for up to 650?
Thanks

I have one of these-

and in fact the one I have is the very one used for the review. I'd want £330 plus postage. PM me if you're interested.

I have an Icon Audio stereo 40i. Boxed and lovely. I live in Portadown up North so no need to ship, we could meet up for a chin wag and a demo if you fancy it.

[kosa]

Thanks guys for help. I've decided to go for KT88s amp.
Do you have any for sale?

[Ali Tait]

Save more and buy the WD one.

Hi Steve

Is the Icon stereo 40 still available?

Hi Anthony, please pop into the welcome section of the forum which you'll find here (http://theartofsound.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=15) & introduce yourself ;)

After all you must have received an activation email & it did request that you say hello before posting anywhere else. A little about the system you own & your musical tastes would go down a treat!

Thanks in advance :)

Art Audio Quintet MK1 here in London for consideration as well - sweet EL34 - switchable triode/ultralinear and switchable feedback level
