KT88 on auction site

[bikerhifinut]

well chaps,

I have just watched a WD KT88 single input amp fail to reach its reserve price of £750. The seller claimed it was a ready built version, in which case I would have thought it was a bargain as at least you could be certain of it being constructed to a good standard. A KT88 amp fpr the price of the EL84 kit? Wish I'd put a daft bid in now at the least I could have had some fun bi amping!

Makes me think, when I see Quad II's go for £1000+ a pair, and Leak stereo20's for similar amounts. They are both great amps but the WD88 I think has the edge for sure. I admit that I think my rebuilt Stereo20 is nicer than the WD KEL84 once I increased the reservoir caps after the smoothing resistor, but there's not a great lot in it.
