I built this a few months ago as a project. Great fun and it sounds awesome as most people would agree. Unfortunately I was offered a deal on an amp/pre that I couldn't resist so sadly this has to go
When I ordered it I decided to tick all the boxes !!
it's obviously the new Mark 3 version
Extras are :
It's configured for 5 line level inputs, utilising a gold contact Relay Input Switching Module
It has the ALPS volume control
It's an XL option which includes high performance Vishay HT supply capacitors, Schottky Rectifier Diodes for lower noise heater supply, SONIQS polypropylene coupling capacitors and SONIQS ICT interconnect cable for internal audio signal wiring

Only Mod i've done myself is to replace the ecf80 valves for Mullards. I felt this improved the lower frequencies.
As it's so new, it's in excellent condition and well built.
To buy this version ready built from World Design would cost £699
I'm looking for offers around £425 based on condition and age.
I'd rather it was picked up from either westgate-on-Sea, Thanet or Rainham, Kent. I might consider posting at cost but it's a very delicate item and I'd hate for it to get broken !! So priority will be given for pick up I'm afraid.
