NICE! If you are still driving those pair of Forte IIs, I would love to hear your comments on how they sound with the SE34I.3.

Thanks for sharing those lovely pics.

I love the way the Gold volume knob matches the Gold base of the EL34 treasures.

I am using this new amp with the Trapezium desktop speakers for now. After a couple of months, I will pull out the Forte II and give them a shot. My long term plan is to use the SE34I.32 with the Forte II.

It sounds good out of the box. All tubes installed are new. I am sure it will get better with time.

I did not realize how stunning the light colored wood base looks on these amps with the white tops. That is a ZEN amp next to it I suppose.

Yes. That is an SE84C+ in the picture next to the SE34I.32.

What kind of output tubes are those? And how would you compare them with the 'stock' JJ EL34's?

Title: Re: Pictures of busterfree's SE34I.32

They are Psvane 6CA7 tubes. They were my first try at expensive Chinese tubes, and I will probably not buy them again. I am not sure that the high cost is worth it to me.

I did not order tubes with my amp. I have not compared them against any other tubes.

Those look a bit different from the Psvane 6CA7 TII tubes I just received from Grant Fidelity. Busterfree, are those the T series?

Yes. T series. Not the latest version.
