    Default Is this valve amp worth a punt ?

    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

    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?

    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.
