    Refurbished and in beautiful condition.

    This amplifier has been lovingly rebuilt and a fine example of a great British made Class A amplifier.

    You won't find a better one which is ready to go without any issues. This is like new.

    Power Supply.

    This is an Alchemist Power Supply Casing which has been repurposed.

    Dual hefty transformers 120va each
    10A EMI filter
    Soft Start
    With Rail fuses
    New screened 1.5M power cable with upgraded aircraft quality connectors.

    Kraken Amplifier.

    All new high grade capacitors, Kemet, Nichicon Fine Gold, Elna Silmic II.
    Input capacitors are clarity cap.

    All New Soft recovery rectifiers.

    New Heavy Duty Speaker binding posts.

    New bigger Aircraft Quality power connector.

    The Filter Capacitors have been increased and bypassed with wima 0.1 caps.

    Original Output transistors

    Pure Silver screened audio cable is used in the volume and preamp section.

    The Volume Pot was changed to a far superior premium stepped attenuator

    This is how this amplifier should have been, it's all been done to get the best out of it.

    You have a choice of two top covers, the original and a custom plexi glass, I like the clear cover as it shows the internals and great when showing off to like minded audiophiles.

    Enlarged versions of your thumbnails will be quite acceptable.

    Thanks Barry, I thought it would be large as I upload the photos on here and then select the ones I want and add it to the thread. Not sure how to make it large?

    Vishal. I've enlarged two essential views of the amplifier, so your advert now meets forum requirements.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
