In less than a minute the Kit88 valve amp had blown the Technics (MY
Technics, no less) into the weeds!



I would be interested to know your reactions if you first fitted a pair of
resistors in series with the outputs of the Technics. Values of around 0.47
to 1 Ohms between each output and the speaker. This would roughly mimic the
relatively high output impedances typical of valve amps.

I'd be curious to know if, after listening, you felt this changed things in
a way that made you feel that the Technics now sounded more like the valve
amp.

Slainte,

Jim
