I've got one final question about this amp - is it class A or a push- pull design? Having 2 pairs of EL34's, I'm guessing it's a class A/B amp. I love the sound whatever it's topology. Thanks.

If you buy the archive CD Rom from WD, you’ll find the original articles that explain the design of your amp. There is a further article covering component upgrades and of course, the full archive contains numerous articles on WAD and WD kits and other DIY projects. It’s a very good read!

Thanks, Greg, I believe I will! I know very little about tube amps, will be very interesting.

It contains loads of articles on valves and valve amps in general including the different types and how best to use them. Loads of speaker kits too.

I've just sent for the CD ROM, was a very pleasant fella on the other end of the phone.
