Hello,

I'm looking for an opinion about Woodside (ex-Radford) ISA 230 valve integrated amp?

Data available: integrated amplifier 25 watt in class A
Valves: two 12AX7, two 12AT7 and four EL34 (6L6GA)

My question is, if it's close to well known power amp Radford STA25 mark3, which uses different preamp section?
I intend to use one of those amps for Tannoy Turnberry. Which one will be better? STA3 with good preamp?
Thanks.

well, I owned it for a while but was much happier when it went than when had arrived :eyebrows: . it's pretty far from the power amp Radfords in any way - avoid, in short

Attila, thank you very much for your sincere contribution. I've had sensation that this amp is not masterpiece like STA series.
