What's the best EL34 amp besides 8b?

Hello,thank for the answers. Dorkwad can you tell me about the differences between the Lenco 78 and the L 75 model ? About Synergistic research I ordered some ECT not received yet. Do you have some ?For the room acoustics I have the Stein Music H2...

Phonostage: Wavac vs Doshi vs Tron
Ddriveman,Sorry but it was a few years back now and I don't remember for the phono. As the system was exhibited with best clothes from the Zanden importer, I can suppose it was the best phono pre.Barba

Hello Sunnyboy,Thank you for this interesting post. Maybe now I can make a better idea with a Nantais mkIII modified Lenco against my own Raven AC 3 (3 motors in a round shape and battery PSU).These modified idler drive seems to be a winner agains...
