  Hi Zorin,   the Woodham amps are really impressive looking.  Have you heard them?  Didn't see info about dealers, or prices on their website. 

Beautiful design. I would like to hear them. From what I found out reading online comments Woodham amps are well regarded when it comes to their sound. Two comments from audiogon .com
- "I own the CR Developments Woodham 300 Classic Tube Preamp. It is a very nicely constructed piece and was described as "Product of the Year" in 1999 by a number of Japanese magazines, not too shabby considering the competition included all other domestic and import gear for that year.
I have used quite a number of preamps in my system and this is by far the best so far, it's pushing a pair of Marantz Model 9's if that's an indication. Very quiet for a Tube pre; fast and extremely dynamic." 
- "I currently use CR's 2-box Kastor pre-amp and CD player. I have owned the class A Romulus, Woodhams KT88 and may spring for the Artemis soon. I am quite a CR fan! They are hand built, generally reliable, have low noise and sound dynamic, fast and musical. I am told by the designer that many of their tube products are based on pro/studio designs but customised for domestic use."
Recently the preamp, used one, sold for about 2500 dollars. CR Electronic Design is restarting its production in early 2015. [ http://crelectronicdesign.com/woodham-pre-amp.php ]
Woodham KT88 sounds very good according to those who have it, but it has [had] a design problem, it tends to overheat when pushed to maximum load. A rewiring of it is needed, at a cost of some 1000 dollars. I found one mention of a sale of one Woodham KT88 for about 2750 dollars.

How often do you need to change the cambelt?

Isn't that a sight, Blue Hawaii in purple. But I would question its outward design, particularly its conical legs.

Wavestream V-8








available on A-gon...

This Amp is insane! How much does it cost? Where can you buy it?

 

[eugenius]

What I like about this type of amp is when owners don't plug the tubes deep enough or the sockets become loose. And when they drag the cable towards the back and pick up some tubes with it. Oh, the joy.

Also, at least it doesn't use 300Bs! On some versions of this tube, gravity can pull the filament down if used horizontally and cause a short!

Which tube amps have sound meters, similar to McIntosh's, that you guys know of? Any pics and links would be much appreciated.
