| We have been selling the upgraded version for 3 years,
and they have proven their reliability ! |
| We guarantee everything (including the valves) for 2 years. |

only has 90 days guarantee on their valves ! |
| If you want 2 years guarantee on the valves,
buy our cheaper amplifier ! |

Click here for 18 Customers Reviews of Model EL34 valve amplifier who prefers our EL34 Valve amplifier to :-
£2,600 Naim preamp
/ power amp / Hicap ,
expensive Arcam
preamp & power amp
expensive Audiolab
preamp & power amp
very expensive Linn preamp
& power amp,
very expensive Quad preamp
& power amp ...........
which proves that expensive, well reviewed transistor preamp & power
amplifiers
still does not produce
the good old valve sound
Many valve amplifiers look the same, because there is a limit to
how many ways you can arrange 3 transformers, 4 big valves and 4 small
valves,
to fit on a small box !
Our valve amplifiers have been MODIFIED IN ENGLAND
with American GEC NOS JAN (military) small 5670 valves, SILVER MICA
capacitors, ferrite ring mains filter, etc.
THESE MODIFICATIONS MAKES OUR AMPLIFIER SOUND DIFFERENT
TO OTHER VALVE AMPLIFIERS (THAT LOOK THE SAME).
SMALL speakers are NOT designed for LARGE rooms ! (click here for more details)
