KT88 Console?

[Dswankey]

...I was disappointed that there were not some exotic KT88 amp

For those that want to see a custom built KT88 amp Google "King Tubby's KT88 amp"

Fwiw King Tubby was a leading Jamaican recording engineer & producer back in heyday of Reggae dance hall sound-systems

I don't recognize the console. But would still consider the amp. Take a look at the OPTs. Are they open frame or of more substance. Some of those EL84 amps can be quite musical sounding with more efficient speakers.

It has a DPA20 amp

I have three EL84 amps. One is a PP Dynakit ST-35, a Magnavox PP console amp, and a scratch build SE amp. All three of those EL84 amps are different from each other and all three sound good.
The EL84 has become my favorite sounding tube.
If I could only keep one amp out of all the amps I own that use various power tube types it would be the Dynakit ST-35.

I like EL84, but I also like a little more power, and I don't really care for parallel tubes so I don't tend to run them much.

Well at least a beautiful old console is saved. If worst comes to worst I can always remove the electronics and give the cabinet to my friend but I am going to try and find it a new home locally I hate to see it get parted out.

Puke I personally hated that era and style of furniture. We had a hutch in that style while growing up, I wasn't too fond of it even though it was well made.

Well we all like different styles. I like this much better then the clunky boxy things in the mid 80's but some I am sure love them too. Like music preferences are very subjective when it comes to styles

Maybe those 1960s-era consoles could benefit from a couple of strategically placed, and hidden subwoofers?

This one is very far from the ugliest I've seen. I dig it.
