Just to show that what constitutes a good amp varies from person to person and this one could do gold plating.

I think their market diminished substantially when Liberace popped his clogs.
They could have done one where the chassis top plate was grand piano shaped.
That amplifier looks about as tasteful as Captain Nemo's car...
But, really, someone needs to make KT88 with gold plate innards and top layer of the gettering so that the thing can be completed.

Leak used a gold-anodised front panel for their pre-amps on the American market.
Gold-plating of grids and pins is quite common in special quality valves.
I've never seen anybody criticising the watch industry for using gold cases.
