Is this valve amp worth a punt ?

[andyrlb]

Is someone able to judge if this valve amp is worth a punt or not ?
I’m told it’s 60wpc but then I’m also told it’s a power amp whereas I see it as an integrated, I’ll be buying sight unseen btw .

Update: apparently the intention was for it to be an integrated but then the maker realised there was not enough room? So power amp it is

Andy, are you considering driving the Gale's with this valve amp?

I don’t think any valve amp would cut mustard with the gales mate .
I’m actually on the hunt for a power amp to go with my quad vena ( for the gales )

I was gonna say, as you need a decent bit of current to drive em...as you well know! Poss Beard P100 would do it.
I bet you wished you'd kept that Quad 606 mk2?

The valve kit above looks very a la DIY...Sovteks 5881's to boot?

Yeah I think I’ll pass on the valve amp .

Good move. I don't think it would have done great things.

Cant really tell from a picture but it does have Jensen and Jupiter PIO caps in it, so more money was spent there than needed to be.
