I borrowed this amp from Speakerman. It's a very basic dual KT-88 passive integrated SET with pentode and triode switching. High quality parts and the on-off up front. I like that. Absolutely noise free, too.
With the stock KT-88's it has a really nice SET mid-range and very tuneful bass. (BTW, there's an extra output jack for bi-amping.) I found some upper mid-range nastiness tho'. So I cut the bias down to 400mA and popped in a set of VA EL-34's. Wow! Even lovelier vocals, very heavyweight bass and a pure, extended treble. Still some image congestion in the middle but very little fault otherwise.
The new retail is pricey at $895. Just 2 years ago it was $599 and that seems about right.
Just thought you might like to know.
