Spotted those earlier. Kef B200 bass driver and T27 tweeter with Goodmans DT3 tweeter by the look of it. Odd selection of drivers. Can't see the point really.Quote:

Alchemist Kraken. I agree with the sellers description on looks ( i like the look), but full class A, don't think so,maybe first few watts ( Jez could answer this I'm sure). Excellent phono stage, 'err umm' well for me not that great. I would not describe the sound as the seller has, some say grainy, some warm. I like these amps, and use mine loads.
I like it that the seller has placed the power box to the side of the Amp, as most sellers place it on top, where it just looks odd.
Best with an 8ohm speaker, but can work with other rated speakers. Runs very hot, i added 'fin' legs to mine to raise it up a wee bit. Looks better ( to me), and more air flow around it.
been watching that myself. great amps these. Ali had one for a while..think it was Shanes before.. Run pretty hot; yes class A I think. sound goodQuote:

I've seen them for sale over the years, but somehow never been attracted enough to want one.
Sound great to me Grant, but don't think fully class A. Yes Ali had Shanes one, then Shane had it back of Ali. He sold it on. Jez and Ali done some work on it i think.
Not sure , seen a few go from £130.00 - £300.00, as this has the 2 trans, may be more close to £300.00. I would assume £220.00- £250.00, but depends on how much someone wants it, like most stuff these days.Quote:

I'd estimate 2-5W or so in Class A, which is probably 99% of what you're listening to.Quote:

S.
more than its worth by a fair bit. But good uns are getting rarer.
They are "pushed in" and they do "not affect the sound quality"... :mental:

Any idea what this thing is? I want to buy it just to find out. The tube is probably worth the price if it works.

Maybe a DEATH trap :eek: :deceased:
Looks like a power supply to me Nathan with a 4 pin rectifier.
Looks like it might be a time bomb?Quote:

I noticed it was a rectifier when I looked at it on a bigger screen. I think you're right. That cylinder threw me off. I thought it might be some sort of regenerative radio.Quote:

It was OK, but I didn't rate it that highly. I liked the matching pre-amp, even if it was a touch unrefined.Quote:
