Received and making beautiful Music. Thanks Robert.

Nice to have an EL84 in Triode reference again! I have 7 or 8 hours to my ears on her from yesterday and today, so far. She is well seasoned already....nice to have out of the blocks.

Running JJ EL84's and JJ GZ34 with my Ediswan 6922 NOS Plat' input tube.....very nice. I look forward to rolling my NOS Platinum 6922 tube types in Carina. I will see what I can dig up/buy for 84's and Rectifier's too.....that are worthy.

Eddie, if you're out there.....nice Amp Sir. I'm enjoying her in Triode with Tone Mode A and B....depending on the Music. The option for UL is great to have too. Love the uses of the Standby up and Stand down also. Very well explained and "the why" in the Manual. It is four Amps in one....and very well made. The after market Custom Bubinga Wood I have on her....makes for an even more beautiful look. Output Tranny's, Caps and Power Supply Caps, very nice/impressive (to see and Sonically).

W/6ohm load from Carina, with my simple crossover cap (Mundorf Mcap Supreme).....6ohm Adagio driver's is a match made in heaven. Great Sonic SPL's with 1.5 watts/channel (at moderate SPL Volumes).

Of course my Zen Mystery Amplifier....is Zeus and Reigns Supreme. But, having a EL84 based Triode again.... is its own Animal/to be appreciated in its "Pocket".
