I've had these quite a few years now and they have probably been used less than 10 times in all that time because of young children and the hassle of putting a system together and away again for the sake of a few hours' listening.
I was wondering what any of the more savvy valve experts on here could tell me about the build as I know so little about them. I do know they have 2x KT66 1x ECC83 and 1x EF86 each.
The guy I bought them off said they were made by an ex BBC engineer who made 2 pairs, one for himself and one for him. While I've heard stories about ex BBC engineers before, this guy was very honest about the stuff I bought off him and I have every reason to believe he was telling the truth. I recall something about being an improvement on the Quad II circuit but I could be wrong. These are not valve rectified like the Quads anyway, whether that's a good or a bad thing I'm not sure. In particular I was wondering if it's a known circuit and what all those numbered metal boxes inside them are. I haven't been able to find anything on the internet with this particular combination of valves which is what intrigued me.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190215/1e21af302951734737696e39091a8d04.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190215/e0b204a2ba9650c46fbb2db5bc0064c6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190215/f63e8cb420f8b39086dd3ad034bf5cdc.jpg
