Re: Karna vs Amity

Kurt, good luck on your quest. I built and use Amitys in both 2a3 and 300b versions. The signal iron in both is Lundahl. On the 2a3 version I used Hammond power transformers and chokes. On the 300B, I used all Lundahl iron throughout. I used a modest OT on the 2a3, the amorphous core OT on the 300B. Both amps are very good. It seems to me that once you get to the level of performance of the 2a3 version (even with its more modest OT), the cost to upgrade performance rises dramatically, and you have to decide how much that extra fraction of a percent of accuracy is worth. If you haven't looked at the K&K audio forum, please do - there is a wealth of info on these amps at this site. Additionally, Kevin has a transformer couple KT88 design posted in the projects section that might interest you was well.
