Suggestions for an tube-amp with KT88

[Mstoks]

Hello!
I would like to build an tubeamp with KT88 tubes. I need some good advise for a tubeamp-kit that comes with an enclosure that look nice, eg aluminium or some else other neat.

Regards Martin

I would like to end up with something looking like the Music Angel KT88, but want to build it myself

I agree.

has you got some other suggestions?

No. Full kits are hard to find.

With some creative wiring and a cover for the transformers in the back, you will have a nice and easy to maintain amp. There are builds with the capacitors rewired so you can move them to the underside leaving the gain tubes for show.

I am looking at the Bob Latino ST-70 running with KT-88 tubes as a project. The transformers will handle it and I can go from triode to pentode mode at a flip of the switch. Biasing will also breast too.

Read up on the mods and reviews -- you might be surprised.

This is a good KT88 monoblock that should easily fit your budget.

Yes, the Odd Block looks nice Something like that is what I want. I prefer a stereo-version but mono blocks colud be an option.

This is interesting. The mater kit with transformers and housing is the best option I think. Is it possible to ship these kits to Norway? What about pricing?

If you are referring to the SE kit, note that the power transformer has primary 120V/240V - 50/60 Hz.
