Another challenger is "Skyline" Amplifier by Weber Laboratories in Germany. The whole signal path of the Skyline amplifier is made by 4N pure silver (inclusive of the transformers). A few AE fellows listened to the prototype of this amplifier before. One of them was Bigpiece in Shanghai. He told me that that is the amplifier that he will go for it for his Cessaro horn system.
PTsang told me that any amp using KT88 tubes will not impress him. Ralph told me the same. After he listened to this amp, he made no comments. He did not make any specific reference to this amp which he did not even ask the brand name but he just said that he was finally pleased with the "overall" performance of my system for the very first time after he installed the external cross over.
This amp is an understatement. It does not possess the ego of the Wavac 833. It does not possess the "mysterious" feeling of the Takumi K-70 which we had never listened before.
Amp war, good, please count me in.
KT88 has a soft and mellow sound which I don't like(Jadis amps use KT88 tubes), but to a good designer, tubes is only part of the integral.
