Integrated Amplifier Kits
World Designs offers two integrated amplifiers, both with five relay-switched inputs, a tape output and a high quality volume control. Choose between
the easier to build KEL84 integrated (15W) or the more powerful KT88 model (35W). Both are available with our XL upgrade option which adds audiophile
components where they matter most. Our designs use auto bias for ease of set up and long valve life. For full technical details of our standard and XL
versions please visit the Support & Forum page. For built versions please visit our Build Service page.

KT88 Integrated 35W (Class A)
This is our flagship amplifier and is an asset in any music system. A perfect blend of power, control and subtlety makes
this an amplifier that you forget is there. Combining the inherent musicality of Class A operation with high quality components, the KT88 outclasses many much more expensive rivals. This amplifier is powered by KT88 Kinkless Tetrodes in a Class A Push Pull Ultralinear configuration. The KT88 valve was designed by GEC as a high quality audio power valve, and this is an excellent example of how to get the best from that valve.
