Comments

compared to my recently sold EL34 based Conrad Johnson CAV-50 :

As compared to my recently sold EL34 based Conrad Johnson CAV-50 (2,300 retail) I have retained the tube "sound" yet gained the following benefits:

Soundstage: Width, Depth and Air has improved
Details: Resolution is far superior, providing the airiness that I'm now experiencing
Mid-Range: Lucid smoothness with vocals in Triode, and full instrumental reproduction in Pentode
Timbre & Harmonics from Piano & Guitar are more accurately reproduced
Bass: Supurb control and better low frequency responce
