KT88 SE UL tube power amp


This my second SE UL two stage power amp. This time the top plate was brushed Al and Sovtek KT88s were installed right from the start. The base is Mirbeu and the front-end valve is a 6N1P. Edcor XSE OPTs and a 10H Hammond choke with X2 caps make this a very pleasant amp to listen to. Mids are exceptionally clear and highs extended (46khz @ -3db point). In this build all connections are on the back and just the attenuator on the front.
