full review by Hi Fi World!
Based around the classic KT88 valve in Push Pull Ultralinear
configuration, this astonishing amplifier develops over 35
Watts of clean power with a beguiling musical performance.
The KT88 has been used in many a classic amplifier since the
1950s and has reached its zenith in this design featured in
the June to October issues of Hi-Fi World magazine.
Available as a power amplifier (with or without passive non-invasive
volume control), or as an integrated with relay switched
inputs for five line level sources, the WD88VA is a tour de
force of Class A valve amplifier design. Heavy chromed
transformer caps and control knobs contrast beautifully with
the satin front panel and black powder finish chassis, both
built of aluminium to avoid magnetic eddy current effects.
Hard wired on tag boards internally, great attention has
been paid to signal path purity and low distortion. For
aficionados there is an XL upgrade option featuring boutique
components such as Schottky diodes for both main rectifier
and heater supplies, Pi filter DC heater supply, Soniqs ICT
signal cables, Soniqs SAX signal path and Rifa Low ESR Power
capacitors.
External dimensions with valves: W410 x D340 x H150mm.
