For Sale my World Designs KEL84 integrated valve amp. I built this myself as a DIY project and completed it less than 2 years ago in August 2007. Mine has the optional PCB remote relay board installed and is of stock specification and built as per the instructions , i haven't added any 'aftermarket ' modifications to it.
It has given me absolutely faultless service since completion and has been a great little amp. It is in Excellent cosmetic, mechanical and electrical condition.
I fully tested the voltages last night ( 6th April) at work and the amp is in fine electronic condition. ( excel spreadsheet with the voltages on if interested).
The sound quality of this little EL84 powered amp is fantastic, it is known as something of a giant killler, it is both quiet in operation and dynamic. I have used mine with a pair of Mission 782, Rega Ela and Rega Kyte speakers, it drove them all to good listening levels with ease, even though it is only rated at 15 wpc... ( them are Valve watts
...)
Genuine reason for sale; Hi-Fi is a hobby of mine, i often buy, sell and swap my equipment just for the sheer hell of it and because i can, i just like to have a bit of a change every once in a while. I have bought a non working WAD Kit34 EL34 based amp recently of Tony L which i have repaired and am now having a play with that.
This amp is fairly compact (midi sized) and i have no problem with shipping it to a UK address and will 'consider' shipping abroad, but no promises on this. I will pack the amp extremely well for safe shipping, I pride myself on the standard of my parcel packing....
However, I would prefer for the buyer to come an collect it from my house in person, that way i can demonstrate the amp acually working. I live near to St Andrews in Fife, on the east coast of Scotland.
I will include two sets of spare EL84 ( or equivalent) valves and a set of spare ECF80 (or equivalent) so you will have some spares and can try a bit of tube rolling, all of the valves are failry low use with plenty of life left in them.
Another good thing about the World Designs & WAD kit amplifiers is that they are very well supported with not only help from the manufacturer/Designers but an army of very helpful enthusiasts on the dedicated discussion/help forum.
To buy a fully built and tested amp from World Designs will cost £650 today. My amp is fully built and tested , less than 2 years old, with some spare sets of valves included.
I am asking £350 plus shipping, i will consider reasonable offers for a quick sale, but am not desperate for the cash, so won't be just giving my baby away...
