In Reply to: Re: Kit 1 vs kit 2 as in amps? posted by Rune on June 15, 2005 at 10:09:15:
Yep, I have two others at the moment. I have a 6C33 SET and an EL34 push-pull ultra linear. Both were ASL integrated amps but are extensively modified now i.e. Lots of hard wiring, coupling caps, hexfred etc. etc. I definitely prefer the kit2 to either these. I also lived with a Cary V12i for a couple of years.I don't know if you have heard (good) front loaded horn speakers, but that is what the kit2 remind me of. The music seems to leap out at you. It demands your attention. It is fast, rhythmic, detailed and accurate i.e. dynamic. So for rock it really works very very well. I listened to Deep Purple's 'Reborn' a few nights ago and I was blown over - it rocked. With the other amps it is just another one of my LP's.
It is good with more laid back stuff too. But in a bizarre way it is almost disappointing listening to laid back stuff as it does the same on that as any good SET amp does – no worse no better (not that that is bad right?). With rock, it does something that I cannot really articulate. I have never heard an amp that comes close. I guess you can deduce that I like my kit2 :)
If you want an amp with a bit of snap but like SET sound, this is the guy to get.
There is a bit more to the build than the 300B but Brian is very helpful and never more than a phone call away.
